Introducing Abayuuti Climate Action Network, our newest Partner! ? Abayuuti Climate Action Network is a youth-led initiative that supports climate-displaced communities in Uganda. Their three thematic areas are livelihood support, climate mobility advocacy & engagement, and climate resilience research. Climate migration is an urgent reality that we cannot deny and we are really excited to partner with Abayuuti CAN who have been working at the forefront of this issue! Check out their Instagram (@abayuuti_action) and page on our website to explore both financial & non-financial ways you can support their work.

WE ARE THREE YEARS OLD ???? and we want to share our journey from this past year with you! Here are some of the highlights we’ve had from our third year!

Happy 3rd (belated now, it was July 15th??) anniversay to GreenCheck! It's been an incredible journey and honour to work with the team, first as a Spanish<>English translator for their website, then as an audiovisual translator, and now as part of the People Service team (for those who don't know what this is, think HR, but cooler). To celebrate, I figured I'd make a post sharing GreenCheck's socials so others can learn about the work the team does, the partner network that has been created, and the biggest project of this year: The Solidarity Academy! This was a project to match climate-activist youth with a GreenCheck partner for a summer-long internship full of (un)learning, workshops, and idea sharing, all culminating in a final project delivered by the interns. Do check out the GreenCheck social media posts to learn more about this project and others! GreenCheck Instagram - @ GreenCheck.earth Facebook - GreenCheck [https://lnkd.in/gDPzqarF]

It was a lovely and thought provoking experience for me. Intersectionalities is a part of human existence and how it also effect climate change. When we talk about Justice it has be intersectional. Super proud on each individual and collective for the amazing work you are doing to create a change. Thank GreenCheck for this wonderful opportunity. Love and solidarity. Keh.??
