🌍💧 How can youth in Northern Ghana lead the way in water adaptation and climate resilience with almost no budget? 💧🌍 Through our Climate Leadership in Water Adaptation and Period Poverty program, youth in Northern Ghana are proving that impactful water adaptation and filtration solutions don’t need to be costly. 🌱 Water Harvesting & Soil Conservation: Techniques like zai pits, stone lines, and half moons are helping to improve water retention and reduce soil erosion in dry regions. 💧 Water Filtration: Affordable DIY filters using everyday materials—plastic bottles, cotton, charcoal, sand, and gravel—or traditional clay pots are providing cleaner, safer drinking water. ✨ Empowering the next generation of climate leaders with practical skills fosters community engagement and climate leadership—all on a shoestring budget. Help us spread the word—share this post to inspire youth to lead climate action in their own communities! 💪🌱 Special thanks to Green Africa Youth Organization (GAYO), Alinea International, and the Government of Canada’s Climate Action Africa initiative for their incredible support. #WaterAdaptation #YouthClimateLeadership #NorthernGhana #AffordableSolutions #ClimateAction #SDGs #PeriodPoverty #CommunityEngagement #WaterSecurity #FutureAtPlay #CleanWater #DIYClimateSolutions

At the ongoing Youth Climate Leadership Training of Trainers in Kandiga, Bongo, and Sirigu communities in Ghana's Upper East Region, women and youth participants have been pitching their climate adaptation ideas and initiatives to community leaders, institutions, and agencies. Now equipped to become climate leaders, they practiced their pitches with fellow trainees and received valuable feedback. Here is what some participants shared: • "I was scared at first, but now I can confidently express myself and pitch my ideas." • "The feedback from my colleagues helped me refine my pitch." • "I improved with practice. I used to stammer, but now I don't." • "My heart raced initially, but pitching to more people made me feel more comfortable." #WomenInClimate #YouthEmpowerment #PeriodPoverty #ClimateLeadership #GAYO #ClimateAdaptation
