Pato is an unstoppable force and figure in the African Climate activist arena! A true role model with professionalism, precision & attention to detail.

Dr. Richard Munang

Pato is a passionate and determined young person committed to mobilizing youth to create a better Africa and world. She is very active and dedicated to environmental issues and was a pleasure to work with on a youth lecture she was the project lead of in Gaborone, Botswana. Her social media skills are also noteworthy. I recommend her for any community engagement, environmental and development opportunities.
