GET TO KNOW BANYANI
Who We Are
Banyani is a youth-led climate-action nonprofit based in Ghana, committed to building a sustainable future by empowering communities, schools, and individuals to take bold action against climate change. Founded by a passionate team of African climate advocates, Banyani connects grassroots movements with national and global sustainability goals. Through environmental education, community projects, and creative advocacy, we equip the next generation with the tools to protect our planet and reimagine a greener, fairer Africa.
OUR MISSION
To drive climate action and sustainable development across Africa.
At Banyani, our mission is to catalyze grassroots climate action and build the capacity of African communities to lead their own sustainable future. We work to:
- Equip young people through climate education and environmental clubs in schools.
- Support communities with nature-based solutions like reforestation, clean energy, and climate-smart agriculture.
- Promote innovation and advocacy through circular economy initiatives like “Waste-to-Art.”
- Collaborate with governments, institutions, and partners to amplify local voices and solutions.
Our mission is more than a statement, it’s a call to action. We are building a pan-African network of changemakers ready to shape a livable planet for generations to come.
OUR VISION
A sustainable and resilient Africa where communities thrive in the face of climate change.
We envision a continent where climate-conscious citizens, empowered by education and innovation, lead the charge toward sustainability. In this future Africa, communities are equipped to adapt, ecosystems are restored, and young leaders drive transformation from the classroom to the policymaking table. Our vision is grounded in justice, resilience, and the belief that African communities can flourish—even in a warming world.

From Conversation to Calling:
The Birth of a Movement
Almost two years ago, in a lecture theatre at the University of Cape Coast, what started as a casual conversation among friends would soon become something far greater. We laughed, exchanged ideas, debated solutions to the world’s problems—and somewhere in the midst of that moment, a seed was planted. An idea emerged: simple, bold, and necessary. Subconsciously, we were birthing an initiative, one that would take on a global crisis with local roots.
