Growing up on the shores of Lake Victoria, I saw the impacts of climate change firsthand. Driven by my love for the lake and my community, I embarked on a journey to combat environmental degradation. Now, through education, sustainable agriculture, and eco-friendly initiatives, I am working to restore the natural beauty and resilience of our ecosystem while empowering the next generation to be environmental stewards.
Rising Up from the Rubble of Disasters
Growing up near the Pacific Ocean, I have been used to typhoons -- it’s nothing new to me. Our house has always endured every storm and we seldom need to evacuate. Not until super typhoon Haiyan happened.
Super Typhoon Haiyan taught me that we should never waste time fighting for climate justice, our communities need justice from all the damages and devastation that climate change caused.
This story is my story on how I rose from the rubble of disasters.
