As water sources dry up and disappear, the burden of fetching water falls disproportionately on adolescent girls. What used to be a short walk is now hours long daily journeys, hours that should be spent learning, growing, and building futures.
Every drop of water a girl carries is a mile away from a classroom.
Across rural Africa, the climate crisis is doing more than raising temperatures, it's quietly pulling girls out of school.
For the past year, I stepped away from climate activism, not because it stopped mattering… but because life happens. But here’s what I have realized;
The climate didn’t pause.
The floods didn’t stop.
The heat didn’t take a break, we see it, we feel it.
Africa’s response to climate change must be led by Africans—by the people who know the land, the cultures, and the struggles first-hand. Solutions should be grounded in our realities, our knowledge, and our resilience. #ACCAC2024#AdaptationInFocus
