Young people take leadership to care for our common home

One in three Africans, 422 million people, live below the global poverty line. They represent more than 70 percent of the world’s poorest people. While we all play a role in addressing climate change, those living on the margins of society should not be made to shoulder equal responsibility as people in wealthy countries. Yet, many young people in Africa have taken it on as a personal responsibility and challenge.

It is inevitable for the young generation in Africa to own its voice and lead our continent to where it deserves to be. Young Africans form more than 70 percent of the population and are constantly learning how they can make a difference. They hunger to do what is right and meaningful and are already making their mark.

Lead Magis Africa (LMA) Youth Network is comprised of such young people. This network, hosted by the Jesuit Conference of Africa and Madagascar (JCAM) Justice and Ecology Office, is driven by a strong desire for a more just world and a prosperous Africa. LMA members participated in a leadership development and global citizenship program in Kigali, Rwanda last October 12-14, 2019. The program is rooted in Ignatian Spirituality and was organized by the Justice and Ecology Office, with the support of Canadian Jesuits International and the Jesuit Mission UK. LMA youth are initiating and leading change on social and global issues. One popular cause they are taking up is the “Care for our common home” which they believe is crucial for the survival of our planet.

Upon graduating from the course, these young leaders embarked on a trail of tree planting and cleaning exercises. “According to scientists, planting billions of trees across the world is one of the biggest and cheapest ways of taking CO2 out of the atmosphere,” said Joan Gwapasuka, the Zambian Chapter leader. She led her group in two tree planting exercises last December. “I personally feel great after the tree planting event in Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology; a contribution to the lungs of our planet,” remarked Joshua Kiilu, a member from Kenya.

LMA has embarked on planting a million trees across Africa in 2020. LMA believes this is in line with the Jesuit driven Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs), especially “Caring for our common home,” and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The network has also been supporting the great work of many advocacy groups pushing Northern governments to adhere to the COP 23 resolutions.

Young people are aware that we also need to make behavioural changes now. The impact of our actions on climate will be greater and the risks higher the longer we delay. LMA believes that individuals can make a big contribution to the protection of the planet. Led by geography student Joshua Kiilu, the network has committed to adopt nine ways to care for our common home: eat less or no meat; use energy-efficient light bulbs; use reusable bags and print as little as necessary; recycle; use reusable beverage containers; don’t throw your notes away; turn off lights when not in use; save water in every way; and use public transport or walk as much as possible.

LMA is aware that by making individual lifestyle changes, we can help preserve our common home. “What you do makes a difference!” says Apollinaire, a LMA leader from Congo Democratic Republic. By eating less or no meat, one can cut their carbon footprint by half. Try it and you will see how much impact you have on the world’s resources, and adjust accordingly.

There is “a tremendous sense of despair” among Syrians as electricity and fuel have become scarce, and the country plunges into a deepening humanitarian and economic crisis, according to a report from Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), a partner of Canadian Jesuits International (CJI).“Since November 30, there has been almost no available fuel for public and private use,” wrote Fr Daniel Corrou SJ Middle East and North Africa Regional Director for Jesuit Refugee Service, in an email to JRS partners last December. “There is no fuel for heat during the long cold winter,” many place receive less than 30 minutes of electricity per day, and public transit has ground to a halt, he said. “The streets are empty.”Read more about the situation in Syria: Click link in bio, Fuel crisis worsens winter hardships for SyriansAll photos from Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Syria

Education is a basic human right that remains inaccessible to many people living in the Global South.
On the International Day of Education, January 24, Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) reaffirms its commitment to promote and advocate for access to quality education for all.
Through its work with Jesuit partners, CJI supports formal and informal education, distance learning, adult education, and skills training in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. CJI projects -- whether they be in the Amazon or in refugee camps in South Sudan or in a tea estate plantation in Nepal -- also equip young people and families from poor and marginalized communities with knowledge and skills to get a job or start a business.
The UN General Assembly proclaimed an International Day of Education to emphasize the role of education for peace and development.
“Without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind,” said UNESCO in a statement.
About 244 million children and youth are out of school, and 771 million of the world’s adults are illiterate, according to UNESCO. “Their right to education is being violated and it is unacceptable.”
