Rwanda Chapter

Working together with others to build innovation world.

Catalyst 2030 is a great platform to express my role in implementing SDGs. I believe being a part of this will provide me with a helping hand.

I am passionate about giving back to the community which is what we do in Catalyst2030.

I expect to increase more connections and get funding opportunities in order to better serve my community.

My motivation to join Catalyst 2030 is driven by a shared commitment to catalyze impactful change globally. Through collaborative efforts, we can address pressing challenges with innovative solutions and collective action. I believe in the power of diverse perspectives and agile approaches to drive systemic change and create a more equitable, sustainable future. By leveraging our collective expertise and networks, we can scale proven solutions and accelerate progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. I am inspired by the opportunity to contribute to this transformative movement, working alongside like-minded individuals and organizations to make a meaningful difference in the world.

I joined Catalyst 2030 because of its unwavering commitment to solving the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges through collaboration and systemic change. As the CEO and Founder of Philemon Farm Enterprise, I have seen the power of collective action in creating sustainable solutions, especially in the areas of food security, job creation, and environmental conservation. At Philemon Farm Enterprise, we train individuals in mushroom farming, provide free mushroom seeds, and create jobs that help alleviate malnutrition and poverty. We also contribute to environmental sustainability by making charcoal briquettes from expired mushroom seeds, addressing ecosystem degradation and climate change. Catalyst 2030 offers a global platform that connects like-minded changemakers, fostering innovation and partnerships that can amplify our work. By joining, I aim to learn from others, share insights, and collaborate on impactful projects that will drive meaningful change, not just in my community but globally. Through Catalyst 2030, I am confident that I will have the opportunity to expand my network, access valuable resources, and contribute to shaping a more equitable and sustainable future for all.

By being part of catalyst 2030, we hope to connect with organisations with the same interest for more impacts to our beneficiaries. So far, we will give our support as we can to those also need for positive impacts.
