Climate Action & Advocacy
Empowering Communities for a Sustainable Future
At LEAF Organization, we believe that fighting climate change begins at the community level. Our Climate Action & Advocacy Program focuses on raising awareness, influencing policies, and empowering individuals and groups to take meaningful steps to protect the environment.
South Sudan faces rising temperatures, frequent floods, droughts, and deforestation. We work to equip communities with the knowledge, tools, and networks needed to address these challenges and build a greener, more resilient future.
