When we empower women, we empower families and communities. By training 20 women from the Kadavu, Lau and Lomaiviti — we’re contributing to this journey. From financials literacy to breaking cultural barriers — we’re giving these women an opportunity to become entrepreneurs.

[Intl. Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification @OA_Alliance]

Excellent video from @oceanfdn highlighting the global efforts of OA scientists, policy makers & community leaders to combat OA.

🌲vanishing forests (11.9 million hectares/year)
🔥climate change (^1.6°F since 1906)
👶🏽babies dying (15k/day)

The SDGs need us because:
👩🏾‍💻 we all have something to contribute‼️
🌍17 goals; 169 targets, 3,399 days left

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

For any #COVID19 vaccine to work, the majority of men, women and children across the globe need to be willing to take it.

But mistrust in vaccines is on the rise.
