My Travel Story

by: Vincentia Khakasa Start Date: Aug 21, 2025 - End Date: Sep 19, 2025
Help Me Speak for African Youth at the AWiM Climate Summit!

I’m Vincentia Khakasa, a youth climate advocate and communications professional from Uganda. I’ve been selected to speak at the Africa Climate Summit & AWiM Conference in Addis Ababa, a platform where young voices like mine can influence climate policy, share innovative solutions, and inspire action across the continent.

Why this matters:

Impact on my career: Attending this summit will deepen my knowledge, expand my network with climate leaders, and strengthen my ability to lead youth-led climate initiatives back home.
Making a difference in the community: I will bring back insights, strategies, and connections that will empower young people and women in Uganda to take action against air pollution and environmental degradation.
Passion for this project: I am committed to fighting climate change and creating sustainable solutions that directly improve the health of our communities and ecosystems.
Why this destination: Addis Ababa is the hub for African climate dialogue, bringing together policymakers, youth leaders, and innovators. This is the ideal place to amplify the voices of African youth.
What makes it meaningful: This is not just a trip—it’s an opportunity to inspire action, advocate for change, and represent the energy and solutions of young Africans on a global stage.

Your support will help cover travel and accommodation costs, ensuring I can share Uganda’s climate solutions and youth perspectives at this important event. Every contribution brings me closer to making a tangible difference for my community and amplifying African youth voices in climate action.

Join me in making this journey possible!
