the yalla Project

The Yalla Project is a collective endeavor with a strong social vocation.

Our work is led by the intent of being a catalyzer connecting, mobilizing and fostering the full unfolding of potentials of spaces and actors.

We strive to [co]operate on the principles of the fair and equitable sharing of knowledge, skills and opportunities at different levels
