In May 2025, South Saharan Social Development Organisation (SSDO) invited community members to submit powerful stories for the upcoming Cost of Justice Anthology and the response was nothing short of inspiring. Voices of resilience, justice, and change poured in, painting vivid pictures of lived experiences that deserve to be seen and heard.
Now, we are taking the next bold step: bringing these stories to life through art on canvas.
Paint-a-thon 2025 is Here!
We are calling on young creatives in Enugu State to transform these stories into striking visual expressions. This is your opportunity to let your art speak where words stop; to inspire, to challenge, and to reimagine justice through creativity.
