Mewe International Inc

As survivors of violence from war, abuse, and discrimination, our values and mission aim to architect creative pathways for the sufferers to be the healers, for the silenced to be the noisemakers, and for the dismissed and underrepresented to be the culture transformers re-storying our world with greater equity and resilience.

At this moment in human history, we see a growing weaponization of communication and narratives that are eroding mental health, fragmenting social cohesion, and de-storying communities' human rights. #MeWeIntl priority is to innovate and scale our evidence-based tools, trainings, and community-based practices in which communication skills-building and storytelling interventions advance health, agency, and social cohesion.

As a community-led movement, our global programs are co-created with our participants and beneficiaries living in proximity to the poly crises of today: climate change, forced displacement, violence, inequality, mental health. As we scale and innovate, we see growing new community-driven applications that deserve more capacity, research, and capacity-building. In a world of constant change, we are committed to co-creation and innovation with our communities of practice from all around the world. This is how we can realize culture change towards greater equity, healing, and community resilience.

For over 5 years, our organization has moved mountains across 15 countries, reaching over 10,000 people. But were have done so with limited resources and 1-grant cycles. To realize our mission and vision, we must grow our team, and enhance our technical capacity as an organization if we are to scale and innovate across the world.

The #MeWeIntl methodology's tools, trainings, and community intervention have activated over 100 community facilitators across 15 countries, reaching over 10,000 vulnerable youth, caregivers, elders, educators, and community builders. We have subgranted over $600,000.00 USD across 12+ community implementing partners across the world, ensuring a process of community co-creation and community ownership. Our tools and community programs have advanced participants' psychological wellbeing, leadership skills, and communication skills 60-80%, with variance for diverse geographic areas of practice.
