WePlanet Inc. Secures Youth Empowerment Fund Grant to Drive Youth-Led Climate Action in Dominica
Roseau, Dominica – April 22nd, 2026
WePlanet Inc., a youth-led environmental social enterprise in Dominica, has been awarded funding under the Youth Empowerment Fund for its project, “Small Actions. Big Change: Youth-Led Digital Innovation Driving Climate Action.”
The Youth Empowerment Fund, supported by the European Union in partnership with the Global Youth Mobilization (an initiative of the Big Six Youth Organisations), provides direct support to youth-led initiatives advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the community level.
This project responds to growing environmental challenges in Dominica, particularly the misuse of non-biodegradable materials and the need for more engaging, community-driven approaches to sustainable living. Building on its existing mobile application and ambassador network, WePlanet will scale a digital, incentive-based model that encourages individuals to adopt eco-friendly habits in their everyday lives.
Over the project period, WePlanet will:
• Expand its Ambassador Programme, equipping young leaders to drive climate action in schools and communities
• Launch an Eco-Points Drive, partnering with local businesses to reward sustainable behaviours
• Host a Stakeholder Engagement Forum to strengthen collaboration across the public and private sectors
• Implement an Install & Learn Campaign, engaging students in interactive eco-learning and climate challenges through the WePlanet App
The initiative aims to mobilise students, communities, and private and public sector partners, while fostering long-term behavioural change through gamified digital tools and grassroots engagement.
Speaking on the award, Christianna Paul, Co-Founder of WePlanet Inc., stated:
“This project is about making climate action practical and accessible. By combining youth leadership with digital innovation, we are creating a system where sustainable choices are not only encouraged, but rewarded and sustained within our communities.”
WePlanet Inc. expressed its gratitude to the Youth Empowerment Fund, the European Union, and the Global Youth Mobilization for their commitment to empowering young people and supporting locally driven climate solutions.
The project will be implemented throughout 2026, engaging young people, schools, businesses, and communities across Dominica in collective climate action.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
