Muheti - Go Game Changers Award
Growing up as a young Southern African in Mozambique, Muheti experienced the devastating effects of climate disasters firsthand as cyclones struck and impacted his community. These experiences fueled his determination to take action, leading him to launch N’KUMI Impact Solutions, start a podcast called Regenerate the Future, and enroll in our Master’s in Global Sustainable Business Management program. Muheti’s journey is both unique and inspiring, and we had the opportunity to sit down with him to discuss his participation in the GoGameChangers Award, as well as his thoughts on climate change and how we can address it together.
