Equality for All
Equality for All was Lighthouse’s first pan-African storytelling campaign, amplifying voices from more than 20 African countries. People from all backgrounds, students, activists, artists, and community leaders, shared personal stories about equality, liberty, and justice. The campaign collected over 150 powerful stories through school programs, community events, and digital platforms, reaching more than 1.2 million people across the continent. Each story offered a unique and honest perspective on the challenges and hopes shaping communities today.
For us, this campaign was never just about storytelling. It was about creating space for people to speak about what matters to them,” said Ashitha Nayak, Founder of Lighthouse. “Africa has always held many voices and many truths. We wanted to honour that depth and honesty. Justice begins when people are truly heard
Today, the impact of ‘Equality for All’ continues to grow, with stories being shared in classrooms, youth forums, and community spaces, sparking deeper conversations and inspiring collective action.
