For the 10 years Adam led the organisation from a start up into a thriving arts institution in South Saharan Africa which now partners with UNICEF, EU, Irish Aid and many other international institutions.

Barefeet Theatre is a non-governmental arts organization (NGO) that uses art, play and creativity to give young people a platform to express themselves .
