The Nile Project’s mission is to transform the water conflict in the Nile Basin by inspiring, informing and empowering Nile citizens to collaboratively cultivate the sustainability of their shared ecosystem. Through an innovative approach combining
cross-cultural musical collaborations, youth leadership development, and a collaborative network focusing on food sustainability, the Nile Project seek
s to address the cultural and environmental challenges at the root of the Nile conflict in order to shift the world’s longest river from a divisive geo-political discourse to a uniting conversation. We believe in the creative potential of youth and their ability to be leading change-makers. University students are natural partners for the Nile Project, offering
fresh perspectives, a willingness to learn, and the idealism to change the world. Through our university programs, we seek to harness the energy and creativity of youth along with the power of music to catalyze transformational thinking and action
for a peaceful and sustainable Nile Basin. In 2016, the Nile Project launched its university programs in 6 cities.
