Daniel Kalalizi is a Congolese climate justice activist and physicist. He was born and raised in Goma, from where he had to escape because of the attacks by M23 rebels. He now lives in the area of South Kivu, which is also heavily affected by the terror of the M23. He works on the ground with the local population and risks his own life daily by just staying there. Climate justice activists are heavily targeted by militant groups and by the government, and are under threat to their lives.
To be able to continue his work, Daniel needs money, which will most of all be used to provide food, clothing and other essentials for the local population.
