Empower 30 Green Action Leaders In Ghana

Introduction:

We are delighted to share the progress made towards our Green Action Project, which aims to empower 30 young leaders in Ghana to become environmental sustainability champions. Your support has been invaluable, and we are grateful for your trust in our initiative.

Key Achievements:

• Fundraising: We have raised $223 out of our total goal of $10,000 up to date, thanks to your generosity.
• Partnership: Our collaboration with Engagement Global's ASA Program has secured three expert volunteers from Germany to support our project. The first two volunteers will arrive in mid-September 2024 for a three-month stay, and the third volunteer will arrive in early November for a two-to-four-week stay with all their expenses fully funded by Engagement Global.
• Potential Partnerships: We are in discussions with potential partners to help fund the project.
• Website Development: The Green Action Summit website is under development and will be launched soon.

Project Progress

The Green Action Project includes:

• Six (6) Weeks Virtual Training: Participants would be taking through a six (6) weeks intensive virtual green leadership module to provide the knowledge, skills, and attitudes in entrepreneurship, with the possibility of 2 in-person meetups. Module includes; Introduction to Climate Change and Green Entrepreneurship, Environmental Literacy and Sustainability, Developing Green Business Ideas, Business Planning and Development, Pitching & Presentation Skills, as well as Climate Action and Community Engagement.
• Community Service Projects: After the training, participants will be involved in 2 weeks community service projects, such as climate change advocacy, training, community cleanup, tree planting and more. Top 10 selected participants would pitch their ideas at the Green Action Summit on November 14, 2024 to showcase what they have been able to develop during the training.
• The Green Action Summit: The culmination of the project, a platform that will bring together over 300 youths to showcase achievements and inspire collective action towards a sustainable future.

Next Steps:

• Continue fundraising efforts to reach our project goal.
• Finalize preparations for the volunteers' arrival and their respective projects.
• Confirm partnerships with potential funding partners.
• Launch the Green Action Summit website.

Challenges:

Our primary challenge remains securing sufficient funding to support the project's full scope. We continue to seek support and partnerships to ensure success.
