Did you know? Women and girls with disabilities are among the most excluded from climate action and green economic opportunities, yet they hold enormous potential to become leaders in environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods.
That is why this week, WAG Disability Rights welcomed House of Plants Africa at our Lilongwe office to explore a partnership that will empower women and girls with disabilities through green skills and climate action. The proposed collaboration will equip women and girls with disabilities with practical skills in turning waste into value, master seedling science and become certified Seed Collection Officers. These skills will create new opportunities for economic empowerment while promoting environmental stewardship.
Together, we share a powerful vision of Life, Growth and Healing. These three words capture the objectives of the work that both our organizations are committed to. By combining disability inclusion with nature-based solutions, we will empower women and girls with disabilities build resilience, restore dignity and contribute meaningfully to a greener, more inclusive Malawi.
