My story is on how I became and environmentalist. Human actions damage it, and how individuals can help.

As a young 11-year-old girl in primary school, I was denied a right. Human-wildlife conflict around my area led to us being fearful, with children seeking to drop out of school for the sake of their safety. My personal school experience, which I’m proud to discuss, stretched my mindset and belief systems, making me who I am today. I envision a world where every child has a safe place to learn and a child’s education is not compromised by environmental factors like human-wildlife conflict, especially with ongoing climate change.
Douala, the commercial capital of Cameroon, has recently been experiencing an upsurge in plastic waste pollution. This is mostly due to increased production from the brewery and water bottling companies and inadequate waste management infrastructures. In 2017 the city of Douala produced more than 20,000 tons of plastic waste daily, of which about 2% was collected and less than 1% recycled. Environment and Food Foundation (E2F) in Cameroon is bringing up a new collection, reusing and recycling systems for plastic waste, with a traceable social and environmental impact on global waste management. Our innovative approach seeks to strengthen the plastic supply and value chains, create new jobs, and relieve Douala from plastics pollution.

For more than three decades, the youth in Malawi have been marginalised, in actions that strengthen the climate agenda.

And the opportunities that exist within rapid response mechanisms, in providing immediate support to young activists.
Kenya has for a long time used reusable baby nappies on their young ones. We've a favourable weather throughout the year which makes it easy to use this product. Regardless, the recent years there's been a rise in use of disposable diaper alternative. The adverts project them as convenient and the best with many parents not questioning where they end up after use. This has led to another culture where consumers are comfortable disposing the diapers after a single use. Eventually, this has created a menace and we don't know how to deal with this waste; let alone waste management systems.
Indeed, my story shows the need to speak while acting for the climate and peace in the region plagued by armed conflicts. In the context of violent conflicts and humanitarian crises as here in eastern DRCongo, we cannot talk about climate action without integrating a dynamic of peaceful conflict management because, without peace, all the efforts made for development remain in vain and without success.
"I always love to tell stories of the past to my grandchildren; it refreshes some beautiful memories in me. I could still vividly recollect when we were children how we used to catch a glimpse of those days’ serene environment; when we used to go to the bush and collect some wild edible fruits when everywhere was green and thick with butterflies hovering around, and birds singing." -Grandpa
