Ready for change? It's time to shift our perspective on climate action! π±π
We've learned that we all can connect and make a difference π€
Climate change affects us all, but not equally. It disproportionately impacts marginalized communities, vulnerable populations, and future generations. Now, more than ever, we must stand together and work towards a more equitable and sustainable future. πβ¨
Our world may appear distant and inhumane at times, but the digital age has given us the incredible ability to share stories across borders in real time π
Online communication isn't just about convenience; it's a chance to cultivate empathy and bridge the gap between different realities.
Let's connect and make a difference, one story at a time π€
At Makmende, we're all about the 'ripple effect.' πͺπ½
Can one person really make a difference in the world? Absolutely! β¨
Your actions have the power to inspire a chain reaction of positive change. Every effort counts! π

Effective change can't be made alone πͺ
The UN 2023 Water Conference brought together governments, cities, communities, designers, and researchers to leverage water in tackling climate issues. Water as Leverageβs mission? To make a difference in water-related climate challenges! π
But that's not where it ends. Working hand in hand, we captured leaders in action and asked them crucial questions. By taking control of their social media before, during, and after the event, we ensure that impactful stories reach the right people at the right time. π£οΈπ‘
Together, let's create real impact!
At Makmende, we're passionate about revealing the human core behind big themes and closing the gap between distant realities.
Since 2021, we've proudly partnered with water as a leverage to empower communities in Bangladesh, India, and Indonesia. Our collaboration has led us to the prestigious UN 2023 Water Conference, where we're bringing local voices to the global stage.
Join us in creating lasting impact through water resilience and sharing opportunities for a better world. π
Water π§: the key to all natural life π±
But what about our social life?
It has the power to both divide and unite us. Here, at Makmende, we understand the significance of water as a symbol of unity. We partnered up with Water as Leverage because it's time to unite! πͺ
Because ultimately, we all depend on water π
Water is the lifeblood that connects us all.
It flows through our lives, nourishing ecosystems and sustaining human civilization.
At Makmende, we are excited to join hands with Water as Leverage to showcase and celebrate the remarkable power of water and its potential for good ππ
The moment weβve all been waiting for. Hereβs our project with CBI in Ethiopia. Showing the strength of a seed turning into an idea, and what people can do when they are supported.
Happy Entrepreneurs' Day!
