Earth Day Recognition From Michelle Obama
Asante Africa Foundation is honored that Michelle Obama regognized the hard work of two of our students on Earth Day. She is quoted as saying:
“This #EarthDay, I’m celebrating young people who are taking action to protect our planet—like Margaret and Raina, two high school students from the Girls Opportunity Alliance in Kenya who were concerned about the lack of clean water in their village.
With support from the Asante Africa Foundation, they created a water purifier that desalinates water. Their project was so successful that they were awarded the Young Scientists Kenya Award to keep producing water purifiers for their community! I’m so proud of them. Keep up the good work!”
