Sizakele's #ChangeTheNow Passport
Participant
Sizakele Buthelezi
I want to be a Changemaker because...
Inequality and oppression are the two things that keep me up and night. I believe the gap can be bridged when more changemakers collaborate and develop innovative ideas on how this can be achieved.
My Changemaker Pathway
I am a Champion
I see a better way, and want to use my voice to advocate for change.
My UN Sustainable Development Goal
As part of #ChangeTheNow, I’m working on solving UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.
