Climate Action Project: A Drop of Hope
A Drop of Hope “Una Gota de Esperanza” is a youth-led campaign in Lima, Peru, focused on protecting beaches and oceans by reducing plastic pollution. The project combines digital outreach, community education, and hands-on cleanups.
The campaign begins with social media education on Instagram and TikTok, followed by virtual and in-person workshops in coastal districts. The final phase includes beach cleanups at two sites, supported by volunteers from Group for the Management of Water Resources, AIESEC at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, and local partners.
By blending awareness with action, Una Gota de Esperanza empowers youth to protect marine ecosystems and inspire sustainable habits across communities.
