For Brandina Andreya, a Form 1 student at Addorolata Community Day Secondary School in Thyolo district, the future of her community is no longer just a dream but a responsibility she believes she can help shape.
After attending the second session of the Climate STEM Club under MUST's African Drone and Data Academy (ADDA), Brandina says she now sees herself as a change agent who can contribute to solving challenges around her community.
โThe sessions have opened my eyes to think beyond the classroom. I have realised that I have a role to play in making my community better,โ she said on June 17, 2026 at her school.
Growing up in Kwanjani Village, Brandina has witnessed how climate-related challenges affect peopleโs daily lives.
She says droughts and low rainfall often affect farming activities, leading to poor harvests and hunger for families.
However, through the Climate STEM Club, she is gaining knowledge on climate change, technology and innovation, skills she believes can help her understand these challenges and become part of the solution.
โI have learnt that young people can use science and technology to address problems in their communities. This has changed the way I look at my future,โ she added.
The Climate STEM Club, implemented through ADDA, is helping secondary school students explore the connection between science, technology and real-life community challenges.
Through hands-on learning, the program inspires young learners like Brandina to become innovators and leaders who can create positive change.
For Brandina, the journey has just begun because with new knowledge and confidence, she believes that even as a student, she can make a difference.
