How Hope Raisers Uses Digital Storytelling to Build Community Climate Resilience in Nairobi, Kenya
In this episode, I discuss a bit about community climate change adaptation and the importance of incorporating the youth voice in decision-making with Daniel Onyango, the founder of The Hope Raisers Initiative.
