Every day, from June 1 - July 31, 2024, I drew and wrote about RainMakers & ChangeMakers, posting them as notes and then also posting more information about that individual here on this page!
Each post below includes a “Small Art Big Heart” index card art entry as well as a story about the individual. The 61 entries represent 34 grassroots organizations working in the areas of climate change mitigation, permaculture, regenerative agriculture, poverty alleviation through skill building and income generation, the arts, and education. The countries represented here are: Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo (by virtue of the dozen+ DRC refugees featured here), Malawi, Ghana, and Ethiopia. I also highlighted two supporter/donors from Australia and the United States.
