Spiwo Xapile, STORIES MOVE MOUNTAINS

Stories Move Mountains is a collaboration with Spiwo Xapile that invites communities, organizations and individuals to reflect on who they are, what’s been the cause of where they are, what they want to change, what they want to embrace, and how they can work together toward those things they dream of achieving.

“I’ve been to many trainings and workshops and gone through many programs. They are mostly theoretical. This one is spot-on. It made us alert and on our feet, not staying back on our heels. It was about us as participants; it involved us directly and intimately. And it pushed us to know what we know—and then pushed us to move beyond that—into what we don’t know and into who we can be.” –Zola Matutu, community leader, Limpopo Province, South Africa
