🌍 Women Who Lead, Women Who Inspire

Today, we proudly celebrate the remarkable women who make up The Growth Sphere Team — women whose dedication, leadership, and vision continue to shape our mission and expand our impact.

Their commitment reflects a powerful truth expressed by Pakistani education activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, who once said: “I raise up my voice — not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard.” Her words remind us that leadership is not about speaking the loudest, but about creating space for others to be seen, heard, and empowered.

On this International Women’s Day, we also celebrate every woman in our community — our partners, supporters, followers, and changemakers across the world. Your courage, ideas, and resilience inspire the work we do every day.

Together, we continue to grow, to lead, and to build a future where women’s voices, leadership, and contributions shape more just and inclusive societies.

Happy International Women’s Day.

It is an honour to see our journey continue beyond borders 🌍

We are proud to share that following our participation in the 2025 edition of the United Nations University of Tokyo Global Youth MIDORI Platform, our work through The Growth Sphere (TGS) will be featured in the GYM Poster Exhibition at the United Nations University Headquarters (Global Environment Outreach Centre) from March to April 2026.

Both Kyamoneka Mpey Benjamin and Amira Puji Hastuti, co-founders of TGS, were among 17 young leaders globally selected for GYM 2025. What began as a shared experience of navigating global opportunities without guidance has grown into a platform committed to ensuring that geography does not define destiny.

Our message is simple:

“Talent knows no borders — opportunity shouldn’t either.”

Across the Global South, brilliant young people carry vision, creativity, and solutions. Yet many remain excluded, not because of lack of ability, but because of limited access to mentorship, information, and networks.

Through TGS, we work to break that cycle by:

- Delivering leadership trainings for high school and university students

- Hosting thematic workshops on climate negotiations, human rights, and sustainable development

- Equipping youth with practical tools: essay writing, motivation letters, interview preparation, and strategic goal-setting

- Convening multi-regional dialogues translating global climate commitments into local action

In January 2026, our webinar brought together 45+ young people from Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas to discuss law, governance, health, technology, gender equality, and sustainable development, strengthening cross-regional youth networks committed to impact.

This exhibition is more than a poster on a wall in Tokyo. It is a reminder that when we invest in young people, we invest in a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world.

Let’s work together to ensure that opportunity is not defined by geography. Kyamoneka Mpey Benjamin

Post-COP30: When Youth Move from Promise to Action

Just weeks after COP30 in Belém, Brazil, the world is buzzing with commitments, targets, and declarations. But the real question remains: what happens after the applause fades? What happens when global ambition meets local realities?

Climate change is not abstract. Floods do not wait for negotiations. Droughts do not pause for implementation plans. And young people do not have the luxury of time.

On 24 January 2026, the Post-COP30 Youth Forum brought together over 45 youth leaders from Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas for exactly this reflection. Organized virtually by The Growth Sphere (TGS), the forum was not about reviewing COP texts. It was about asking difficult questions:

How do global commitments translate into tangible local action?

Where do gaps exist between ambition and implementation?

How can youth lead and collaborate across sectors—law, governance, health, technology, gender equality—to bridge those gaps?

Moderated by Alya Sabira, with keynote remarks from Vanessa Keuk, and in collaboration with TGS member Amira Puji Hastuti and our incredible team, the forum became a space for dialogue, reflection, and shared insight. Over two and a half hours, participants explored strategies, exchanged perspectives, and highlighted the urgent need for youth-led innovation in translating climate commitments into action.

What became clear is this: youth are not merely the future—they are present architects of change. Across regions and disciplines, their ideas and courage demonstrate that implementation is not a task reserved for governments alone; it is a shared responsibility, rooted in collaboration, creativity, and commitment to equity.

The forum reminded me—and should remind all of us—that climate action is measured not by the words of agreements, but by the courage to act when the world is watching, and when it is not.

At TGS, we want to build a platform that truly supports youth — whether it’s personalized guidance, skill-building, or connecting you to global opportunities. But first, we need your voice.

We’ve created a short 5-minute survey to help us understand:
✅ What young people really need today
✅ Whether there’s interest in personalized guidance
✅ How TGS can become the platform you’ve been waiting for

📌 It’s completely anonymous and takes just 5 minutes!

🎯 Your input matters — and it can shape TGS as we apply for major global competitions and funding opportunities.

💙 Take the survey here: https://forms.gle/GjPSH2JEAh5mXJ4C8
