PROJECT SAT

Project SAT has completed its first three years successfully and undertaken four phases of its ten phase ten year strategy during these highly successful years. We are very much excited by the amazing support and feedback we have received during the pivotal foundational years from 2015 - 2020.

​

We are also grateful and moved by the accolades we have received. Currently, we are in the planning, development and fundraising cycle for the next chapter in our progress. We will be back with more free workshops, programs and updates in the years ahead. Please stay tuned for these updates in early 2022 and please do write to us if you have any ideas or suggestions.
