Summary
Amazon’s pouring 24 million rand into Soweto to restore the Klip River, planting 20,000 trees, cleaning polluted waterways, and creating 300 jobs—while training 1,000 women to launch green businesses. Led by the World Resources Institute and backed by AWS tech mapping urban heat, this project also builds 4 urban farms and 20 school clubs to empower youth. It’s the first investment by Amazon’s Right Now Climate Fund in Sub-Saharan Africa, aligning with South Africa’s climate goals and proving environmental action can fuel local economic resilience.
