*** There has been an amazing response to this campaign!! Emmanuel is very excited about the money he has received and will put any extra funds into further developing the app he mentions in the video! ***
I have been selected as one of only 250 applicants that will be able to participate in the UNCTAD Youth Forum in Nairobi, Kenya, from 19 to 21 July 2016. I will discuss with other young leaders from all over the world their views on education, how we can create more job opportunities and how we can make our governments more accountable in order to shape the world we want.
Each participant must secure his/her own funding
to attend the Forum, travel expenses, accommodation and any daily expenses. I have arranged the accommodation but I now need support to cover my travel costs to and from my country (Rwanda) to Kenya.
A little bit about myself:
I am 24 years old and deeply motivated and passionate
about working with SDGs. I am a young leader, engineer and a social
impact activist. I am good at building teams and like to mentor youth and young people.
In July 2014 I took part
in an International Citizen Service program with Tearfund, funded by the UK
government which changed my life. In a team of 3
Rwandan and 5 UK volunteers, we worked for 3 months to help vulnerable people lift themselves out of poverty.
