Combating Climate Change and Vector Borne Diseases via Visual Arts
My initiative is to use posters, stickers, drawings and paintings to conscientize and sensitize my fellow compatriots about climate change and its concomitant drastic effects on us all. While also teaching them how to make less polluting choices; how to live healthy and free from vector-borne diseases.

Name Your Project
Combating Climate Change and Vector Borne Diseases via Visual Arts
What is your idea? What makes it innovative? Why is it important?
My initiative is to use posters, stickers, drawings and paintings to conscientize and sensitize my fellow compatriots about climate change and its concomitant drastic effects on us all. While also teaching them how to make less polluting choices; how to live healthy and free from vector-borne diseases.
Will you launch your idea as a business or non-profit?
Non-profit
Country your work focuses on
Nigeria
What will be the impact of your idea?
This initiative will definitively help to beef up the inadequate climate change awareness in Nigeria. And in less than four years, the majority of Nigerians would have learnt how to make less polluting choices and how to live safe and clean, especially those dwelling in less salubrious areas.
Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?
I will synergize with seasoned artists, community-based organizations and non-governmental organizations. I will also welcome the contributions of climate activists, health and media practitioners in this novel idea. However, my idea is my brainchild–I am the only one who can take it to the next level.
How much will it cost to launch your idea? (This can be an estimate)
It will cost approximately $20,000 to $25,000 to launch.
