Stowelink Foundation
Climate & Health
Building Resilience. Promoting Well‑Being. Championing Youth Leadership.
Why Climate & Health Matter
The climate crisis and non‑communicable diseases (NCDs) are deeply intertwined—extreme weather, food insecurity, and water challenges amplify chronic disease risks and strain health systems. Stowelink’s youth‑led interventions bridge this gap by empowering young change‑makers with the knowledge and tools to protect both people and planet.
