Progress

  • Developing a wide range of local partnerships

Highlights

Reaching women who have few opportunities and creating a genuine safe space for connection and mutual support through a ‘coaching circle’. Many of the women are also learning about climate change and sustainability for the first time.

We are learning a lot about the important balance between livelihoods, motherhood and environmental concerns.

“We recognised the power of working together and the value in the diversity of voices in ideas for sustainability.”
