On more occasions, I have been thinking about the positive influence the community work had over the evolution of my life and career path, inspiring me to undertake this new scientific ecological path. These decisions made me understand even more my mission, creating a better future for the entire ecosystem, people and the planet. I devote my life to explore the biodiversity of life, how everything is inextricably interconnected, and fight against any form of monocultural thinking to cultivate a biodiversity of mind. Making the SDGs goals a reality is my ikigai, the reason why I get up every morning. This is more than a career aspiration. This is my mission.

Together, we can foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and work towards solutions that have a lasting and transformative impact on Yemen's future. In essence, my motivations for being part of Catalyst 2030 are to learn, collaborate, and contribute to shaping a better future for Yemen and World by addressing its most pressing challenges through innovative and collaborative approaches.

My social enterprise focuses on creating inclusive, safe spaces for brave conversations as we build long term, sustainable cultures of positive peace and a world leaving no one behind. Working hand in hand with my NFP, Learn Peace Canada, we work with key stakeholders and use education as our most transformational tool for change; peace education for a better tomorrow invests not only in our young leaders but also in OUR future. Connection, collaboration & mentorship for myself and others.

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!

As a Co-Founder and Executive Director of Vibrant Voices Village Community Based Organization My motivation to be part of Catalyst 2030 stems from a deep commitment to sustainable development and a desire to contribute to systemic change on a global scale. Catalyst 2030 represents a unique platform where like-minded individuals and organizations collaborate to accelerate progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Being a part of this movement aligns perfectly with my passion for driving social impact and my experience in advocating for sustainable solutions in communities. As someone deeply involved in grassroots initiatives, particularly in water efficiency and community development projects, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of collective action. Catalyst 2030 offers an opportunity to amplify these efforts by connecting with a global network of changemakers, sharing knowledge, and learning from innovative approaches across different sectors. I am particularly motivated by the chance to work alongside pioneers in social entrepreneurship and sustainable development, as this collaboration can lead to innovative solutions that address complex global challenges. Being part of Catalyst 2030 would not only enhance my capacity to effect change but also allow me to contribute my insights and experiences to a broader conversation, ultimately helping to shape a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. Joining Catalyst 2030 is not just an opportunity to be part of a global movement; it’s a commitment to pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo, and working tirelessly to achieve a world where the SDGs are not just aspirations but realities.
