The community-driven activity also welcomed key local stakeholders, including the Alkalo, members of the Village Development Committee, youth leaders, and development partners. Their collective engagement underscored a shared vision for sustainable development and climate resilience at both local and national levels.
Lamin Manjang, Climate Change Focal Point for Kombo East Youth, described the initiative as a vital platform for young leaders and community advocates to demonstrate progressive development.
“It also encouraged the exchange of innovative ideas aimed at tackling the climate crisis,” Manjang added.
As climate change continues to pose serious global threats, grassroots efforts such as this serve as powerful reminders that meaningful solutions often begin at the community level.
Tree planting, coupled with education and awareness-raising, remains one of the most accessible and impactful strategies for addressing environmental challenges.
Each tree planted in Kuloro symbolises a step towards a greener, healthier planet, laying the foundation for a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Hon. Salifu Saidy expressed heartfelt appreciation to the leadership and members of Kombo East Youth Against Climate Change:
“Your dedication, energy, and collective spirit are truly commendable. Let us continue to stand together, hand in hand, as we work toward the sustainable development of our communities and our country,” he stated.
