A little About Us 

Initially a project aimed at amplifying the voices of local social justice civil society organizations in Sub-Saharan Africa, Saro Media has overtime evolved into a global movement seeking to further social justice movements in the Global South. Our roots are grounded in the legacy of past activism undertaken by countless courageous individuals, like Ken Saro-Wiwa, who have struggled to create a more equitable and just society. That legacy inspires and drives our work to build on past victories of fostering a more perfect world.

Drawing on that spirit of activism, rooted in an enduring belief in the capacity of humanity to do good in service of engendering a more equitable society, and tapping into the power of art to effect social change, we strive to carry on the legacy of working towards a more perfect and just world.

About Us…

Who we are:  We are a non-profit media organization working to advance social justice globally.

What we do: We raise awareness and inspire action around efforts that address social injustice. The way we do this is quite simple:   

1.     Utilizing new media, we create and curate multimedia projects aimed at inspiring greater action around social justice issues.

2.     We tap into this increased awareness and desire for positive social change to incentivize engagement that catalyzes greater philanthropic support to grassroots organizations and social justice advocates globally.

Our Goal: Our goals are simply to increase visibility and philanthropic support to social justice movements in the Global South, amplify the voices and efforts of southern-based human rights activists and groups, and cultivate greater awareness of social injustice globally through education.

Vision: We believe art can serve as a catalyst for interrogation and social change. To that end, we envision a world where art can be an impetus for transformative change on social justice issues.

Our Strategy

Awareness: We raise awareness through multimedia projects that educate and inspire engagement. Utilizing art and New Media, we showcase the important work of our partners at the forefront of social justice efforts. By doing so, we hope to foster greater visibility of grassroots organizing around social change and channel greater support towards work that addresses social injustice.

Action: To realize these goals, we collaborate with activists and civil society organizations working to advance social justice and explore opportunities to support this work in a way that allows for sustainability and strengthening of ongoing efforts - through a complimentary and synergistic approach. Through our collaborations we develop and curate a range of multimedia projects that raise awareness of social injustice while highlighting the work of our partners.

Our projects aim to educate, spark conversations, and most importantly, catalyze action that furthers social justice. We believe that by incentivizing greater direct long-term support to champions of social change, we not only ensure their long-term operation and success but also guarantee the sustainability of social justice work globally. 

Results: The end goal of our work is increased long term investment in social justice movements around the world.

Impact: Long-term sustainability of social justice work globally.
