📚🔥Meet Ximena Loza, Country Director of ChildFund Bolivia, whose organization has won the 2025 RISK Award for a powerful new initiative protecting Indigenous children in wildfire-prone areas. 🌿🏫

This bold project transforms schools into safe havens of leadership and learning, even during climate emergencies. Children and teachers become agents of change, combining ancestral Indigenous Knowledge with modern tools like drones and smartphones 📱🚁—creating low-cost, community-built early warning systems that save lives and protect education.

👧🏽👦🏽 “Indigenous children will be at the front line of disaster risk reduction.”

From fear to action. From displacement to dignity. This is climate resilience led by the youngest voices—and rooted in tradition.

👏 Congratulations to ChildFund, We Effect, and APCOB for leading this inspiring movement for education, equity, and climate justice.

Every Day Counts, Act for Resilience Today.
