IRS990/Desc0Providing instruction in music and art is the primary work of HOAS. We are very proud to report that our classes continue to grow with regard to types of musical instruments taught, the number of music classes offered per week, and most importantly, the number of community members enrolling in our classes. In 2016, our music and arts classes enrolled approximately 1,900 students per semester, of which almost half were returning students and half were new. About 95% of our participants are between the ages of 10 to 30 years of age, and about 40% of our participants are women. Due to the increased demand each year, we have increased the number of hours of class time offered - we are currently offering more than 100 hours of class time per week at our community center.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The HOAS Community Center continues to serve as a key central resource to the local community. Once a former nightclub and one-time brothel, HOAS has turned the building into a vibrant and positive space that fosters community engagement and community-led change. The Center is where we conduct our musical instrument lessons and art classes; it is where community members come to meet and network; and, thanks to the completion of a new performance stage built by local tradesmen inside the Center, it is where we can now hold community performances, which frequently attract audiences in the hundreds. The Community Center also has newly built bathroom facilities, providing the community with access to some of the only modern, sanitary toilets in the region.
