What we do at CAPED is focusing more on building climate resilient community. We work directly with women farmers, Fisher men and farmers in general. We do this by restoring mangroves in all the five regions of the Gambia. We do community sensitization on different levels, and offer women entrepreneurship training especially, rice farmers and oyster farmers, also on climate smart agriculture. We advocate on laws that affect communities directly due to climate change. We have been restoring wetlands and rice fields since 2009, so far , we have planted 5 million mangrove propagules in the Gambia.

I am motivated because during the Cop28 in Dubai, I got the chance to hear abit about what your organisation does and I was inspired. I believe joining you people on the journey of change is a great way to explore, share and gain insights on another level of climate change, also exchanging ideas on what has worked and what hasn't from different perspectives, I think is a great opportunity or motivation to join the team and support its cause, as it aligns with my values as an advocate.
