GIVING DIGEST: A Crown for the Climate: Bridget Kyarikunda Ushers in a New Era of Green Giving

In a world increasingly threatened by climate change, Bridget Kyarikunda’s crowning as the first-ever Miss Climate–Green Innovation Uganda is more than a personal achievement, it’s a symbol of hope and a call to action. Her mission isn’t just to raise awareness, but to build a movement that empowers Ugandans to create homegrown, sustainable solutions to the climate crisis.

Bridget brings with her more than a title, she carries the gift of knowledge in environmental sustainability and the passion to transfer that knowledge into community capability. Her commitment to nurturing green innovations reflects a deeper kind of giving: giving voice to urgent issues, giving platforms to overlooked communities, and giving tools to those ready to innovate but lacking support.

This moment reminds us that giving doesn’t always mean funding, it also means mentoring, educating, amplifying, and believing in young people with purpose. Bridget’s journey is a reflection of how empowering one woman can ignite change for a whole nation, and how investing in climate conscious leadership today means securing a livable tomorrow.
