Survive To Thrive
A Global Grassroots Empowerment Movement for
Youth, Women & Communities
to go from Surviving to Thriving through Arts and Education
Our story
Founder artist and writer Elin Petronella asked herself “If not now, when?”. While deep in survival mode with young children, no family around and an art-business to run in a world of crisis, she knew the only way out is through it. It only takes one brave heart to believe in another for us all to rise stronger together.
Get involved
Survive to Thrive is a grass-roots organisation by the people for the people. We believe that true impact and sustainable change is achieved from bottom-up empowerment where it matters most.
Current projects
Survive to thrive works to support individuals and communities to move from surviving to thriving. This frequently involves supporting local facilitators and organisations on the ground to do the work they do best.
“Because to thrive we need more than food for our body - we need food for our mind and soul too.”
- Elin Petronella
Support women and girls and watch communities thrive worldwide
Safe access to education and creative expression is not a privilege but a birthright. The pillar of a thriving community starts in the womb of a thriving mother.
