Evelyn, an AGF University Scholarship Holder from Malawi, recently led a Think Hub activity focused on environmental responsibility and climate action. After facilitating a peer-to-peer session on “Climate Change: Spot It & Solve It,” she and her classmates partnered with the local youth group Rise for Phoka to clean the Livingstonia Market and the surrounding area of the local hospital. The group installed waste bins to reduce open dumping and promoted a No-Burning Waste Policy to prevent further carbon emissions.

Her initiative highlighted the importance of teamwork, practical action, and shared responsibility — involving both girls and boys to demonstrate that climate justice is a collective duty.

Objectives of the activity

• Fund the future, not the crisis

• End climate injustice

• Say no to plastic pollution

• Care for the environment as a shared responsibility

Evelyn’s wish

Evelyn hopes that more AGF girls will take initiative and organise similar community-impact activities, using leadership to unite people around meaningful change.
