ABOUT DRAMATIC NEED

Dramatic Need is a creative arts charity helping vulnerable children in South Africa and Rwanda to build hope and self-belief in the face of conflict, trauma and hardship. The charity believes in use of the creative arts as a non-threatening way of addressing development issues and trauma in children. Working in rural communities, Dramatic Need volunteers use tools such as drama, art and film-making to encourage dialogue within the community on ‘taboo’ subjects such as HIV awareness, ethnic violence and gender disparity.
