"Reconnecting people with their food, and re-teaching people how to grow their own food, has the potential to positively and permanently change the world. It is possible to grow food that is fresher, healthier, and more diverse than what is currently found in the grocery stores..." https://www.onecommunityglobal.org/large-scale-gardening/

Today while moving to the town council, I saw young traders loading organic foods like matooke, jackfruits, and sugar canes heading to Kampala and other areas. It was inspiring to see youth working hard, earning a living, and supporting food supply in Uganda. This shows real youth involvement in agriculture and sustainable development. 💪🇺🇬

Yes, I didn’t have the chance to study much, go far, or have big and rich friends, but I never want to be a burden to anyone. I believe in working hard and focusing on community development. Through this, I can help many people children, families, and others who have been abandoned to find hope and a better future.

Creating a sustainable future for the African child: a #solarpunk concept

by Christabel Ebubechukwu Okoroafor, Bachelor of science student, Social work department, University of #Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria.

PEOPLE CENTRED –THE JOURNAL OF DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION | Volume 9, Issue 2, 2024

Abstract
"This article investigates the conceptualization and integration of the formerly known literary genre and art form; now a subgenre of climate activism, solarpunk as a way of building a sustainable future for the African child; a future that takes pride in preserving the planet and creating a safe space for the African child to thrive, survive and develop. Solarpunk is a speculative and optimistic concept that seeks to reimagine the future of sustainability and mitigate climate change; an #ecotopian future where technology especially renewable resources and nature exist in #ecological harmony (#symbiotism). It profers #sustainable solutions like that embodies the core concept of African philosophy- being a whole person and being one with your surroundings, particularly focusing on community and its strength, a core concept for the Africa scene. It encourages social action through sustainability education of the next generation that is the African child. It integrates evidence from reviews, personal correspondence and diaries. With the potential to address challenges faced by African children, the article is arranged in sections that: introduce solarpunk and its alignment with African philosophies, analyze the current challenges faced by African children, present the context of #ClimateAction through the lens of #BAIW (Because Africa Is Worth It), present practical applications of solarpunk principles, discuss the role of #ForestGuards and social action groups in #biodiversity preservation, and explore how solarpunk addresses the challenges of the African child, concluding with policy recommendations to support the adoption of solarpunk in #Africa."
