Nakhumincha Naomi Nancy

Nakhumicha is celebrated for her outstanding contribution to environmental conservation through impactful community development projects. Passionate about sustainable solutions, she has dedicated her efforts to promoting clean energy alternatives and reducing reliance on firewood and charcoal, which contribute to deforestation. One of her most notable achievements is training over 2,500 women in the skill of briquette making using agricultural and household waste. These eco-friendly briquettes provide an affordable and sustainable source of fuel, significantly reducing the need to cut down trees for firewood.

Her initiative has not only protected local forests but also empowered women economically by creating a viable source of income. Through workshops, demonstrations, and mentorship, Nakhumicha has inspired entire communities to adopt cleaner, greener fuel options, thereby improving air quality and reducing health risks associated with traditional cooking fuels.

As a staunch climate change advocate, she continues to champion the transition to renewable and clean energy sources, engaging policymakers, grassroots groups, and youth in the fight against environmental degradation. Her work stands as a powerful example of how local, community-driven action can address global challenges, protect natural resources, and uplift livelihoods, ensuring a healthier planet for present and future generations.
