Saviour Iwezue

Saviour is a young changemaker from Nigeria who started addressing the issue of climate change at the age of 15. She is currently ensuring that students in the formal education system and out of school are aware of the climate issues plaguing Nigeria and the world, are receiving adequate climate education and are acting towards protecting the environment. Saviour started by leading recycling interventions in schools, to ensure that students are learning in healthy environments, reduce waste pollution and help students understand the dangers of poor waste management.  

Saviour is accelerating impact through 3 methods. Climate Education: bridging the gap between formal education and climate education by supporting green clubs and empowering educators. Climate Leadership: by activating young people to lead action and drive advocacy through workshops and training. Youth Mobilization for Action: by mobilizing young people to take concrete actions to protect the planet and lead advocacy efforts. Through these efforts, Team Illuminate hopes to bring climate education to all corners of the earth, empower young people to lead interventions and mobilize them to take concrete actions.
