The Vision
The vision for a sustainable future places emphasis on ensuring access to water, fertile land, renewable energy, and sustainable tourism, while also striving for a clean environment devoid of harmful pollution. In this vision, children grow up healthy with ready access to nutritious, locally sourced food, and animals are cared for with consideration for their welfare. In response to the currently overflowing dumping sites and littered streets, the envisioned future entails a clean and healthy environment achieved through effective waste management strategies.

2023 Campaign
Moringa is an undervalued and underused crop, despite its high nutrient count. YCI shared information and experiences related to the cultivation of moringa, the crafting of eco-enzyme fertiliser, processing of moringa into health and nutritious dishes and learning materials. YCI supplied rural communities with Moringa agricultural materials to kickstart production of the crop, which could be a viable value chain, generating sustainable livelihood opportunities, which also generating environmental benefits.
