Collaborating for a Sustainable Future: Youth-Led Organizations Unite for Common Goals: In a significant step toward achieving global sustainable development, three youth-led organizations—Africa Climate and Environment Foundation (ACEF), PESAID, and Youth Pawa—recently held a collaborative session at a Diani hotel. During the session, the leaders from each organization identified key areas for partnership, focusing on their shared objectives of eradicating poverty, reducing inequality, and promoting environmental sustainability. This collaboration is a powerful example of how partnerships, in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17, can drive meaningful progress. By combining resources, expertise, and passion, these organizations are working to build a more inclusive, equal, and sustainable future for all. At PESAID, we are excited about the synergies that will arise from this collaboration and remain committed to the shared vision of zero poverty, reduced inequality, and environmental conservation. #PartnershipsForGoals #YouthLeadership #ZeroPoverty #Sustainability #SDG17 #PESAID #ClimateAction
