Young South African Makes the Finals of Global Sustainability Competition

Young Durbanite, Kimsha Sewpal, has spent much of her life tackling environmental and human rights issues in her schools, community and places of work. This graduate of Geography and Environmental Management from the University of KwaZulu-Natal is currently studying towards an Honours degree in Environmental Science. This year her dream of driving impact on a larger scale came a lot closer to reality as she pitted her unique green business concept against hundreds of others in the renowned ClimateLaunchpad competition.

Currently in its ninth year, this global competition incentivises climate-smart entrepreneurs to take their business ideas further. It also gives them access to tools and resources to develop into impactful organisations that address climate change.
