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. Contrary to many non-profits, we aim to create a collective movement rather than focusing solely on big-scale donations. We believe that true change is achieved from bottom-up empowerment where it matters most.
Current projects
Survive to thrive works to support local people, projects and organisations with a burning heart for their cause. We serve both short-term and long-term efforts along with our mission to relocate resources at the grass-roots.
“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.
