• Train at least 500 community leaders to advocate and implement sustainable practices.
• Establish a network of active participants who continue to promote and develop sustainability projects locally.

Project Timeline

With the requested funding, we can empower individuals to make impactful changes, fostering a healthier environment and a more sustainable future.
