Akomplice has teamed with the Moi Platform and Aesthetic (both Brazilian organizations from Florianopolis). The project aims to produce awareness about the role higher education plays in developing evolution and quality of life for humans everywhere. The project also aims to create revenue, from which 100% of the profits will donate to The Empada Students Project (part of the Moi Platform), which invests in college scholarships for local students in Guinea-Bissau. The scholarships cover tuition in Bissau, the country’s capital, for students from the village of Empada. We believe that education is the most efficient way of catalyzing changes and creating youth leadership in small communities. Check a news story run on Globo, Brazil’s largest television network about the collaboration. Keep an eye out for the North American release which will take place late February.
