As the CEO and Founder of Global Green Village Enterprise, Alpha promotes a smart culture of waste management and recycling in slum communities for a clean, safe, and healthy environment for its people. Alpha is an expert in youth development, social media advocacy, campaigns, and has developed skills in entrepreneurship, marketing and teaching environmental science for secondary students. During his fellowship in the United States, Alpha hopes to learn about waste management and recycling, as well as social entrepreneurship while also developing his skills in business proposal writing, research methodology and effective community outreach strategies. Upon returning from the Community Solutions Program, Alpha plans to increase mutual understanding and dialogue between youth in his home community through the expansion of his Youth Green Club, and extend his venture into other communities.
