Who backs the work.
DACTION's programs are delivered in direct partnership with international foundations, local organizations, and academic institutions.
A mentor behind the work
Dr. Jenny Molloy has mentored Daniel since they met at an ICGEB course in 2022. She's a Senior Research Associate and Shuttleworth Research Fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge, and she has guided Daniel's thinking on connecting engineering with environmental leadership ever since, advising him informally on both his own path and DACTION's direction.
Partner organizations
Our primary funding and program partner since 2022, based in Atlanta, Georgia. DACTION's founder also sits on the Foundation's Planeteer Alliance Wisdom Council, its global network for youth environmental leaders.
The Recycling Scheme for Women and Youth Empowerment has been DACTION's delivery partner on the ground in Lagos and Ondo States since our first campaign, supporting cleanups, school programs, and community venues.
