Who backs the work.
DACTION's programs are delivered in direct partnership with international foundations, local organizations, and academic institutions.
A mentor behind the work
Dr. Jenny Molloy has mentored Daniel since they met at an ICGEB course in 2022. She's a Senior Research Associate and Shuttleworth Research Fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge, and she has guided Daniel's thinking on connecting engineering with environmental leadership ever since, advising him informally on both his own path and DACTION's direction.
Partner organizations
Our primary funding and program partner since 2022, based in Atlanta, Georgia. DACTION's founder also sits on the Foundation's Planeteer Alliance Wisdom Council, its global network for youth environmental leaders.
The Recycling Scheme for Women and Youth Empowerment has been DACTION's delivery partner on the ground in Lagos and Ondo States since our first campaign, supporting cleanups, school programs, and community venues.
What partnership actually looks like.
Five ways organizations have plugged into DACTION campaigns so far. Most partnerships combine two or three.
Fund a campaign
Back a specific DACTION campaign from proposal to report. You set the outcomes you care about, we design around them, and you get an honest account of what the money achieved.
Deliver together
Co-facilitation is how our best programs ran. Your team brings the expertise, ours brings the young people and the local grounding, and the campaign is built jointly rather than handed over.
Host at your institution
Schools and universities open their doors, put students in the room, and shape what the program covers. Every DACTION campaign to date has run inside a partner institution.
Send a speaker
Researchers, executives, and practitioners who can talk plainly about energy, environment, or careers. One seat at a session like Hydrogen Horizons can redirect how a student plans their whole path.
Cover the logistics
Transport, venue, materials, refreshments. In-kind support has carried entire campaign days, and it is often the difference between a plan on paper and a program that runs.
