Dear YALI Alumni,

My name is Emmanuel Niyibikora, an alumnus of the YALI Accra, Ghana Climate Tech Innovators and Leaders Program, and co-founder of the Green Rise Initiative. Our venture focuses on sustainable solutions like smart energy briquettes, designed to address environmental challenges and uplift communities, particularly in vulnerable regions like the Nakivale refugee camp.

As we prepare for the upcoming YALI Expo in South Africa, I am excited to extend a special invitation to you. Featuring your ventures in our upcoming Climate Change Encyclopedia magazine, that will be akin to virtually attending the Expo. This is a unique opportunity to showcase your impactful work to a wider audience, including potential investors, fellow innovators, and global leaders in the climate tech space. Your story can inspire others and highlight the critical role we, as YALI alumni, play in driving transformative solutions to the climate crisis.

I would be honored to include your venture’s journey, achievements, and collaborations in this publication. Your participation will not only promote your business but also contribute to the growing movement of young African innovators working tirelessly to create sustainable progress in our communities.

We look forward to sharing your story and amplifying your voice in the global climate tech conversation.

Warm regards,
