Making Children Become Productive Agents for Sustainability

The global battle to combat climate change and climate driven disasters wouldn't be any success if comprehensive mainstreaming of stakeholders across vertical and horizontal lines isn't well enhanced.  Children are apparently one of the key stakeholders whose voices and ideas need to be strongly considered in all global decision making processes.  Regrettably, a common ongoing practice in many countries is use of children as child soldiers, slave labourers, hawkers,  suicide bombers, and more.

Children can absolutely become whatever society teaches them to be. At GreenAid/ SuccezGuide we train children into becoming productive agents of development by equipping them with skills in climate smart agriculture,  organic farming, trees nursing and planting. They learn how to preserve the environment by recycling plastic waste (like plastic bags, plastic bottles) to plant crops using organic kitchen waste kept into compost over periods of sorting.

The essence of this is to motivate children to build interest and basic skills that enable them become active champions in combating disasters, climate change,  desertification, and Africa's massive drylands affecting food production for nutrition and food security. The resultant effect is these kids become productive agents to drive the transformative actions necessary to deliver both on the SDGs, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Paris Agreement and INDCs.
