Amanjot and Poma are Youth Leaders from Bharat who will lead a Youth Innovation Project that combines their passion for inclusion and environmental protection, as well as furthers the objectives of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
Over nine months, Amanjot and Poma will recruit 10 new Youth Leaders as well as 75 other youth to practice SDG #11, which calls for safe and sustainable cities, through waste collection and recycling. They plan to contribute to SDG #8 as well, which promotes economic growth, by supporting athletes in skill development that can be applied to future jobs. With so many unified partners engaged by this project, Amanjot and Poma believe the project can become self-sustaining and inspire other members of society to do their part, therein creating real social change and lasting environmental impact.
