I have been for years now in support of achieving a sustainable future
Prominent characteristics is that I am a result oriented and an excellent team player with the aim of contributing to the SDGs achievement globally by 2030.
I am committed to making a meaningful contribution to initiatives that address SDGs. I am particularly passionate about initiatives linked to mental health, youth, and those that operate at the intersection of finance and social impact.

Our aim is to make use of Catalyst 2030's incredible networks in order to engage employees in two regions: LATAM and ASIA.

My Motivation to Join Catalyst Now
As a passionate social entrepreneur and climate action advocate, my motivation to join Catalyst Now is driven by a deep commitment to systemic change, collaboration, and community-driven solutions that create lasting impact.
1. Driving Systemic Change for Smallholder Farmers & Climate Action
Through my work with Bunyala Agri Climate Action Impact Solutions, I have seen firsthand the challenges that smallholder farmers and fisher communities face—climate change, limited market access, high input costs, and a lack of sustainable solutions. By leveraging innovative approaches such as Black Soldier Fly (BSF) feed production, renewable energy solutions, and digital skills training, I aim to scale sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices that empower these communities.
2. Collaboration as a Key to Transformative Impact
I believe in the power of collective action. Catalyst Now presents an incredible opportunity to connect with like-minded changemakers, share knowledge, and co-create solutions that address global challenges. By joining this network, I hope to bring African grassroots innovations to a global stage while also learning from successful models worldwide.
3. Amplifying Local Voices & Unlocking Opportunities
Many grassroots initiatives lack the visibility and support needed to scale. Joining Catalyst Now will provide a platform to amplify the voices of local farmers, youth entrepreneurs, and climate advocates, ensuring they access the resources, funding, and partnerships required to accelerate their impact.
4. Advancing the SDGs & Strengthening the Social Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
I am committed to advancing SDGs 2 (Zero Hunger), 5 (Gender Equality), 13 (Climate Action), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). Through Catalyst Now, I aim to build stronger networks, advocate for policy change, and implement scalable models that create economic opportunities while addressing climate challenges.
Conclusion: A Vision for Inclusive and Sustainable Impact
By joining Catalyst Now, I am not just looking to connect—I am ready to collaborate, innovate, and drive meaningful change. Together, we can transform communities, uplift small businesses, and build a future where sustainability and inclusivity are at the core of global development.
I am excited for this journey and look forward to making an impact alongside fellow changemakers!
I hope to connect with like minds, contribute by writing meeting notes, managing our social media Community, and serving as a project manager. What I am looking for is mentors who will guide me towards making my NGO to be established and sustainable, and help me get grants and funding for my projects. And also to help me build a website for my NGO.
