Khanya Mhlongo – Chief Ambassador S Africa

My name is Khanya Mhlongo and I am the chief ambassador for WASUP in South Africa. I was born in KwaZulu Natal on the 14th of September 2005. I’m currently in high school attending Hilton College. It was at school where I was introduced to Routes 2 Resilience, a six-month course on sustainability and 21st century skills. At the end of this course a few of my friends and I presented the launch of our carbon consulting company via Zoom, where Prof Gatrad was watching. He connected with me and instantaneously I knew this was my kind of work. A time sensitive solution with formidable obstacles and creative people daring enough to pursue it. I’ve debated at a national level where teams have under an hour to construct complex argumentation, WASUP is my opportunity to do the same but with a few years instead of an hour and to build a sustainable future instead of a case.

Fatma Ahmed Al-Sabahi, 25 years old, from Yemen. Graduated from Political Science at Jordan University.

  • When Schools open in January 2021 we want to engage different primary and secondary schools to have clubs in which children and students will be implementing the simple WASUP objectives of awareness and litter collection in their surrounding areas. We will start with visiting schools from the southern region 
  • We also want to incorporate into creative arts subject, an activity which will involve the kinds learning how to make carrier bags using locally available materials.
