I want to be part of Catalyst Now because my life’s work is centered on building opportunities for young people, communities, and organizations that have historically been overlooked. Everything I’ve done through D&C Consultants SA, Skillbridge, the EVOLVE Programme, and my partnerships across the country points toward one mission: to create pathways for growth, innovation, and economic participation that truly include everyone.
Becoming part of Catalyst Now aligns perfectly with this mission.
Catalyst would give me the platform, network, and backing to scale the impact I’m already driving; from youth employment solutions and 4IR integration to building community-driven social enterprises. I’m not entering Catalyst as someone who wants a seat at the table; I’m entering as someone committed to reshaping the table so that more people from low-income communities, townships, and marginalized groups can sit at it too.

I am motivated to join the Catalyst Now Network because my work through the SMILE4ACE Project aligns deeply with the Network’s commitment to systems change, collective action, and equitable futures. As founder and co-lead of an initiative focused on advancing Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) through systems thinking, behavioural design, and just transition principles, I hope to contribute practical tools, frameworks, and perspectives that help bridge climate literacy, community participation, and climate-responsive livelihood opportunities—especially across the Global South. I bring experience working at the intersections of climate education, youth empowerment, and policy innovation, and I look forward to sharing insights from co-developing ACE-aligned strategies, mission maps, and multi-capital impact assessment models. I hope these contributions can support fellow members designing or scaling people-centered climate solutions.
Equally, I am eager to learn from the community. Catalyst Now brings together diverse changemakers working across disciplines, geographies, and social impact domains, and I am excited about the opportunity to engage in peer learning, exchange evidence-based practices, and explore collaboration pathways that strengthen systems-change work. I hope to gain exposure to new methodologies, global perspectives, and innovative models for impact measurement, community engagement, and cross-sector partnership-building. More than anything, I’m seeking a community of practice—a space for shared learning, constructive critique, and collective imagining—where I can continue refining my craft and scaling the impact of SMILE4ACE in ways that align with Catalyst Now’s vision for a more just, resilient, and empowered world.

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.

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.

I am drawn to Catalyst Now’s mission of uniting social innovators, entrepreneurs, funders, academics, and governments to drive systemic transformation and advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals. I want to be part of a movement that doesn’t just respond to global challenges, but works at the root level to shift systems through innovation, equity, and shared leadership. Catalyst Now isn’t just a platform, it is a space for belonging, for bold ideas, impactful collaboration and for leaders like me who believe in transforming barriers into bridges to connect. I am ready to contribute, learn, and grow within this global family of change makers through sharing field-level insight from refugee contexts with a global audience, learning and co-creating with other leaders committed to systemic change, amplify the voices of underrepresented innovators, especially those from marginalized and displaced communities and strengthen my organization’s ability to scale impact across regions.
I hope to acquire strong leadership skills, strong entrepreneurial competencies, a strong network of people from diverse backgrounds with different professions that will help me improve and grow my initiatives through knowledge transfer, capacity building and sharing, I also hope to gain extended knowledge on how to brand my business. On the contrary, I hope to share with the rest of the members a spectrum of my skills and knowledge in strong negotiation strategies, excellent sales and marketing, leadership management skills, research skills and more.

Opportunities to learn form other similar organizations. For instance, Indigenous people in Canada find it difficult to access training in communities that is culturally sensitive and addresses local socioeconomic needs (housing, food security, health, finance, etc). There is a need for sustainable support that is innovative and stimulates a circular economy. Ex: short term funding & policies that don't support autonomy.

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!
