What the lovely
communities are saying about Activista.

Testimonials

We were blinded. Had little knowledge of our rights as citizens. We also never an opportunity to be have a platform like this. Activista open our eyes. We understand our rights and powers as citizens and we will use this new realization to make informed choices in decision making."

"We were like caged birds because we never have opportunities like this were people come and talk to us about issues of governance, our rights as citizens, and responsibilities but Activista came and you guys just opened the doors for us. I hope you come more often to our community to have this kind of engagement. We have learned individually and as community from Activista’s engagement, and this has shaped our opinion, and understanding of governance and citizen participation"
