Itโ€™s time to recognize and support locally led solutions with the funding and resources they deserve. When we empower communities especially #women and #youth who live with the impacts of #climatechange and pollution to lead, we strengthen our path to a #sustainablefuture. ๐Ÿ’ช

What's next for the team at Green Africa Youth Organization (GAYO)? Their circular waste system reduces the toxic fumes that come from burning rubbish. With our support, their Zero Waste Model can roll out across the continent to reduce air pollution and protect the health of nature and people.

One limitation for African students has been the lack of resources to carry out meaningful research to provide solutions to pressing issues in the continent. I will be in University of Cape Coast (UCC) to launch our newest fund for African students.
