About us

SustyVibes = Sustainability Vibes

We represent the energy, vibrancy and passion young people bring into sustainability discourse and practice. We are always organising events and projects in partnership with key stakeholders in business and governments to promote the SDGs and act on climate change in Nigeria and Africa.

Our focus areas

We are making impacts in six key areas

Climate Change and Mental Health

The climate crisis has a direct impact on our mental health and we work to safeguard and validate these emotions for Africans.

Education for Sustainable Development

We inspire and educate people of all generations and backgrounds to take action for a sustainable future in the coolest and most relatable way.

Ecofeminism

We work with an eco-feminist theory of change to develop projects that simultaneously enable planet protection and women’s prosperity.

Artvocacy

We use pop culture and creative expressions from dance, humor, art and more to connect with and make sustainability relatable for young people.

Circularity

With passion and energy, we take susty to the streets raising awareness on the impact of waste on life and to sharing simple and easy sustainability tips to inspire action.

Community Building

We are building a community of diverse young volunteers united by a shared goal: protecting our planet. Together, we foster a sense of belonging, creating a space for learning, impactful actions, and resilience.

Our Working pillars

Our work is broadly categorized into four pillars

Knowledge

We believe that awareness is critical to the advancement and onward mass adoption of sustainable practices in Africa. We seek to expand knowledge through educational content: videos, blog posts, events, advocacy campaigns and more.

Design

Through experimentation and collaboration we design projects aimed at creating a culture of environmental awareness. We work with schools, public sector management, upcyclers, etc to bring our ideas to life and make sustainability relatable.

Research

We are bridging the sustainability research gap in Africa through locally sourced data, collation and analysis. To make our research accessible, we publish them in easy-to-read formats that are digestible for both old and young readers.

Fun

We love fun, so we’ve incorporated it into our sustainability message through pop-culture. We plan fun events and campaigns that ensure our audience have fun while making an impact. Some of our event-based campaigns include: susty parties, susty movies etc
