A journey from witnessing firsthand the realities often hidden behind statistics, realities that would then change the direction of my life. Communities struggling to adapt to climate change, women and girls walking for miles in search of water, families losing their livelihood to floods and drought was the order of the day. Reporting alone was not enough! immediate action was needed.
The Lost Generation and the Two Seeds
The sun beat down on our village, a relentless reminder of the changing climate. Our once lush fields were parched and the river, our lifeblood, dwindled to a trickle. I as a young girl armed with a conservation degree, felt the weight of this reality acutely. My peers, equally passionate and educated, faced similar despair. We were the “the lost generation” of conservationist brimming with knowledge but devoid of opportunities. The green jobs we dreamed of were scarce, eco-entrepreneurship skills were foreign concept, and training programs were nonexistence, then I find the two important seeds.
NEW BEGINNING Project - Eyoon Shabah Organization
New beginning is a project aimed at promoting and maintaining Social youth Development. What the project mainly stands for and hopes to eventually succeed in achieving is creating a new concept of living and coexistence amongst various categories in the society. That is, the project seeks to create a concept of recycling ranging from food to include job opportunities and the re-use of surplus materials around us to create a continuous, healthy and developing society. The project is meant to target a specific geographical area as well as specific categories of individuals.
