Butterfly Future
Founded by Tabi Gazele, Butterfly Future a not-for-profit organisation was created as a means through Music, Singing and Music Workshops, The Arts, Mentoring and Sports to promote social inclusion, cultivate, develop and enhance the confidence, talents and social skills of socially excluded groups, particularly the young, economically disadvantaged and underprivileged.

At the end of the programme each participant will be invited to showcase their collaborative projects that celebrates their journey as a creative. Let’s Buddy Up!
