Connections and collaborations are my main goal here! I’d love to both networking with organizations who are struggling to secure capacity growth grants due to global or local funding inequities, to provide them with training and potential solutions. We're able to find more cost effective, community-building solutions that are particularly beneficial for low-budget grassroots organization traditionally denied funding due to global marginalization.
Likewise, I’d also like to connect with other capacity builders and disabled cohort leaders (especially around disabled employment challenges) to collaborate. Overall, I’d love to contribute my experience in global intersectional activism and capacity growth. I also do a lot of work in the anti-trafficking field as a survivor leader, and am always looking to amplify that impact.

The primary motivation for joining Catalyst 2030 was the opportunity to be part of a global movement dedicated to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through innovative, collaborative, and impactful solutions. The ethos of Catalyst 2030 resonated deeply with our mission at the AFHEG Foundation, as we strive to enhance climate-health literacy and address pressing health challenges in Uganda. We look forward to forging meaningful partnerships that can support our initiatives.
