Summary

The young people of Cazuca have grown up in a community marked by violence and insecurity. Despite the adversities, they discovered music as a way to combat the deafening noise of violence. They created a recording studio that allowed them to express their talent and helped many stay away from gangs. However, they lost the studio and now need help to rebuild it and continue their mission of transforming their community through music.

Challenge

The main problem in Cazuca is the prevalence of violence and insecurity affecting all its inhabitants, especially the youth. The sounds of violence, such as gunshots and screams, are a constant in daily life. This situation creates a hostile and dangerous environment where many young people are recruited by gangs or fall victim to violence, limiting their opportunities for personal growth and development.

Solution

Back Home aims to solve this problem through music. By building a recording studio, they create a safe space where young individuals can express themselves and develop their talent. Music acts as a tool for healing and transformation, steering the youth away from the path of violence and offering them a positive and constructive alternative. This space not only promotes creativity but also strengthens the sense of community and belonging, keeping young people away from negative influences.

Long-Term Impact

This space will allow more young people to develop their musical skills and stay away from violence. Music will become a means to silence the guns and give voice to an entire community, promoting peace and social cohesion. Additionally, the recording studio can become a replicable model in other communities affected by violence, demonstrating that art and culture are powerful tools for social change and development.
