African street artist Faith47 and designer consultancy Thingking in February 2014.
#ANOTHERLIGHTUP uses street art to entice the public to create measurable change in the community of Monwabisi Park, Cape Town. The initiative's members consulted with the organisation VPUU (Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrade) whose active groundwork in Khayelitsha has seen a marked decline in crime over the last few years. Together, they devised a plan to raise money for streetlights in a high-crime area in Monwabisi Park. These will light up a 500m pathway that joins public taps with community meeting places to make the area a safer space for community members and - in particular - children, who are most often the victims of violent crime.
