As the human population continues to grow, so does our impact on the environment. In fact, recent research has shown that three-quarters of Earth’s land surface is under pressure from human activity. In this short film, spoken word artist Prince Ea makes a powerful case for protecting the planet and challenges the human race to create a sustainable future.  Winner of the Film4Climate competition organized by the Connect4Climate Program of the World Bank (film4climate.net).

The Disgrace & Lawlessness of England

Here is Moreen calling for your support to help girls stay in school by making Reusable Sanitary Pads.

• 

TEAM FUNDRAISER

Gretchen Truschel and Waiswa John Billy are organizing this fundraiser.

• Created July 22, 2019
• Education & Learning

22% of Ugandan girls drop out of school due to lack of Sanitary Napkins to use during their menstrual period. This has greatly affected their future and increased the level of illiteracy among Ugandan Girls. 

In our efforts at Youth in Act-Uganda to keep a Girl Child in school we will need to raise $750 to provide Sanitary Napkins to school going girls in Uganda and to train them how to make reusable Sanitary Pads and Menstrual Hygiene Management.

We have a need for both reusable and disposables. We give out disposable napkins after training the young girls on how to make the reusable napkins. We show them how to make reusable pads so they will be able provide for themselves and continue their education.


We run this project in rural public schools. These are school with less fortunate children. We have girls like Nabirye Moreen,  who is one of the trainers of making the reusable sanitary napkins. This project costs $750 and we would greatly appreciate your support to keep A Girl in School through Youth In Act- Uganda’s Sanitary Napkin Project August 2019.

 

Please Support this cause.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Mallence Bart-Williams introduced her second home Sierra Leone and its talented people, who are part of her project FOLORUNSHO. Find out more via http://www.tedxberlin.de

Mallence Bart-Williams was born in Cologne, Germany. She is a Sierra Leonean writer and filmmaker and a German fashion designer. She pursued her studies in economics and finance in Paris, Singapore, and Great Britain. Today she lives across the globe, produces an all-natural cosmetics line in Hong Kong, and is the founder and creative director of the Freetown-based creative collective FOLORUNSHO, a ‘SHARITY’ that she initiated with street kids in Sierra Leone.

Due to her German-Sierra Leonean roots she perceives herself as a bridge connecting two vastly different worlds. Her diverse background enables her to see creative solutions to common problems. Within their three years of operation, her collective has taken homeless children off the streets and into school, developed a sneaker and clothing collection, published a book and documentary of their story, and has held fine art exhibitions. Through her work with FOLORUNSHO she connects cultural contrast, enabling people to share ideas, take action, and get results.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
