About Hannah Arnold’s Sustainable Development Goal #1
Sustainable Development Goal 1: End poverty in all forms everywhere.
I discovered today that by sharing knowledge with a stranger or teaching a skill to a relative, you can spark a new passion or hobby in them and can help create livelihood.
It’s a beautiful butterfly effect of working together through knowledge and it brings an opportunity to reset and bring back years of progress against poverty that was erased by Covid-19.
Sir Patrick (Mergano) and I realised that by sharing an activity we knew, of making liquid dishwashing soap, the attendees of todays workshop can now continue to make their own dishwashing soap for use in their homes, they can also teach their neighbours and/ or can even sell their products too.
What’s a skill or activity you know that you will pass on to someone else? 🫱🏻🫲🏽🫶🏼

I appreciate Hannah’s SDG initiative. As the saying goes “ Give man the fish, he will eat once; Teach him how to fish, he will eat forever”
Hannah’s SDG Project is under SDG #1 “End Poverty”. While homemade dishwashing liquid production may be an income generating enterprise, I think the project will have more traction at MI if it focused on 100% organic ingredients. Sustainable development is an approach to the economic development of a country without compromising the quality of the environment for future generations. In its own little way, the project may help alleviate poverty, but the price of environmental damage is paid in the form of chemicals that go into drainage and water systems that contribute to water pollution and land degradation. I hope Hannah has more time to pivot on Organic Dishwashing Liquid. Good luck, anyway!

Go Hannah, win that crown! 👑
