2024 Napier Initiative Awardees
Taeya Boi-Doku will work with an Eco-Village in Mankrong, Ghana. Her skills in sustainable gardening, water management and solar electrical systems will be shared with a team of people who will build regenerative gardens for local food production. In workshops and classes, her techniques will reach a wide audience in Ghana.
Working with the Pomona Prison Education Program, Rukmini Banerjee will teach
10-week courses entitled "Living Under Structural Violence" for incarcerated individuals in a number of Bay area facilities. Individuals anticipating parole will be matched with mentors who have successfully transitioned to life after prison. Her profound grasp of communication processes and her experience as a teacher inside local prisons provide for a unique educational opportunity.
