💡 Fundraising isn’t just about money - it’s about building lasting partnerships.
In a #GCScholars workshop, #BKMC alumna Loureen Awuor showed that persistence matters: there's more “no’s” than “yes’s,” but every pitch counts.
Our Scholars left inspired & ready to act 🚀.

POV: Our Gen Z intern reframes climate jargon
Climate Change? More like Claim-it Chance 🤔because these events are a wake-up call, a chance for the world to shift course.
If you see a danger sign on the road, you can still turn around. Ignore it, and you're headed for disaster.

Fair pricing: cocoa can't be sweet for the consumer but bitter for the farmer
Agroecological production: systemic transformation of the cocoa system
Value addition where cocoa grows.
"Chocolate cannot be sweet for me, the consumer, but bitter for the producer."
We spoke to the PSA team about how climate change is impacting their favourite snack.
Loureen Awuor shares how her family’s love for chocolate also comes with an awareness of the urgent need for systemic changes to ensure Africa can adapt to the climate crisis while farmers earn a fair profit.
