In the anthology, @maryjanenkiwane contributed a compelling short story titled A Feast of Hope, which delves into the social impacts of the El Niño-induced drought on a rural community. Through her writing, Jane seeks to raise awareness about the urgent need for climate action.

This impactful anthology was born from the Climate Action Haven roundtable, curated by SKILL A Community, an organization dedicated to empowering communities and raising awareness about climate action. The anthology features the voices of 15 young women.

The timing of the program was particularly relevant, coinciding with #COP29, which highlights finance as its central theme. For young people dedicated to building a more resilient future, grasping the current landscape of #ClimateFinance is vital for driving meaningful change.

Tapiwa shared that this experience was incredibly enriching, equipping him with valuable #GrantWriting skills while providing deep insights into crucial intersections, particularly the nexus between energy access, health, conflict, and development.

Our Steering Committee member @cogwigla2 took part in #YOFAFA24. This included a 3 day immersive forum centered on the complexities of Green Climate Fund grant writing processes. #IamZYBN #sustainability #climatechange #biodiversity #PeaceWithNature #ClimateFinance #youthvoices

The gathering will serve as a platform for #African youth voices, encouraging active participation & collaboration in biodiversity efforts. We believe that investing in the potential of young leaders is essential for achieving #SDGs & protecting our planet’s rich biodiversity.

This event aims to highlight the crucial role that young people in #Zimbabwe and beyond play in the conservation of biodiversity.
