  • Navigating New Lives: Why Service Literacy Matters for Newcomers

    Navigating New Lives: Why Service Literacy Matters for Newcomers

    Starting a life in a new country isn’t just about finding a job or a home—it’s also about understanding how to access support in your new environment. But here’s the challenge: many newcomers struggle with what researchers now call Immigrant Settlement Services Literacy (ISSL) 

     What is ISSL?
    It’s the ability to know, understand, access, and navigate settlement services effectively—everything from healthcare to housing, education, and employment support.

     A recent international review found that language barriers are the biggest obstacle for newcomers trying to access services. This affects their wellbeing and slows their integration.

     The research grouped services into:
    Health services
    Settlement & legal support
    Language and information access
    Social support services

    Only 32% of studies identified ways to enable access—meaning we still have a long way to go in making services more inclusive and easier to understand.

     At PROSDOMA, we believe that increasing ISSL is essential to building a successful future in Canada. That’s why we:
    Provide basic computer training
    Connect newcomers to housing, food banks, and job support
    Help with legal aid and immigration paperwork
    Offer information in accessible, friendly ways

    We’re committed to reducing structural barriers and empowering newcomers with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive.

     If you’re new to Alberta or supporting someone who is, let PROSDOMA be your guide to navigating life in Canada with confidence.

  • Children, Climate, and the Fight for Justice in Africa

    Children, Climate, and the Fight for Justice in Africa

    Africa contributes the least to global emissions yet its children bear the heaviest burden of the climate crisis.

    According to the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, millions of children across the continent face hunger, displacement, disease, and loss of education due to floods, droughts, and extreme heat.

    Climate change is not gender- or age-neutral. It affects the youngest and most vulnerable most severely especially girls, children with disabilities, and those in rural or conflict-prone regions.

    At PROSDOMA, we believe climate justice must include child justice. The voices of Africa’s children are too often unheard. It’s time to center their rights in every climate policy, plan, and budget.

    ✅ What Can Be Done?

    1️⃣ Child-Centered Climate Policies

    Governments must align climate strategies with the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.

    2️⃣ Education for Resilience

    Equip schools with climate-resilient infrastructure and introduce climate education early in curricula.

    3️⃣ Youth Engagement

    Involve children and youth in climate dialogues and decision-making at all levels.

    4️⃣ Protect the Most Vulnerable

    Strengthen health systems, social protection, and food security for at-risk children.

    Climate justice begins with child justice. Let’s fight for a future they can survive and thrive in.

    Water is a Human Right But Not Yet a Reality in Africa

    Over 300 million people in Africa still lack access to clean drinking water. As we approach 2025, the continent’s “African Water Vision” is more urgent than ever: equitable and sustainable water for all.

    1 in 3 Africans lives without reliable access to safe water.

    Poor governance and underinvestment deepen inequality.

    ‍ Women and children walk for hours every day to fetch water.

    Water is not just a need, it’s a right. Yet millions are left behind. This is a gendered issue, a climate challenge, and a development emergency.

    At PROSDOMA, we echo the African Water Vision’s call to action.

    ✅ What Can Be Done?

    1️⃣ Put Communities First

    Empower local voices in decision-making. Water solutions must be owned by those they serve.

    2️⃣ Invest in Climate-Resilient Infrastructure

    Adapt water systems to changing weather, droughts, and floods especially in rural and marginalized regions.

    3️⃣ Promote Gender Leadership

    Train and uplift women as decision-makers in water governance and local resource planning.

    4️⃣ Foster Regional Cooperation

    Africa’s rivers cross borders. Strong cross-country coordination is vital for water justice.

    Let’s turn the Vision into Action. The time is now.

    2025 Climate & Sustainability Trends: A Tipping Point for Global Action

    The year 2025 is shaping up to be a turning point in sustainability. According to the 2025 Sustainability and Climate Trends report, we are witnessing a simultaneous rise in climate awareness, regulatory pressure, and market demand for sustainable practices  but also increasing climate risks and social inequality.

    From climate-induced migration to food system disruption, the Global South faces intensified vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, businesses and governments are under mounting pressure to transition toward green economies, ethical supply chains, and inclusive innovation.

    The report emphasizes that climate resilience is no longer optional. It’s a necessity — and must include marginalized communities in the solutions.

    At PROSDOMA, we believe 2025 must be the year when climate ambition meets social justice. Sustainability isn’t only about emissions, it’s about equity, access, and survival.

    ✅ What Can Be Done?

    1️⃣ Enforce Climate Accountability

    Support policies that hold corporations and governments responsible for environmental and social impacts.

    2️⃣ Invest in Climate-Resilient Infrastructure

    Fund local, renewable, and adaptive systems in vulnerable regions.

    Future-Proof Farming: Sustainable Agriculture in 2025

    As the climate crisis deepens and global populations rise, 2025 marks a critical moment for transforming agriculture. The latest Sustainable Agriculture 2025 report emphasizes that conventional farming is no longer viable in the face of land degradation, water scarcity, and rising emissions.

    But there is hope. The report showcases how sustainable practices such as regenerative farming, agroecology, and circular nutrient use  are gaining ground globally, especially in regions vulnerable to climate stress.

    Key to this transformation is local adaptation, technology transfer, and inclusive governance. Yet millions of smallholder farmers remain excluded from the shift, lacking access to finance, tools, and training.

    At PROSDOMA, we believe food justice and climate justice go hand-in-hand. A sustainable future starts in the soil — but it grows with equity and inclusion.

    ✅ What Can Be Done?

    1️⃣ Empower Smallholder Farmers

    Provide access to training, markets, and finance tailored to local conditions.

    2️⃣ Promote Nature-Based Solutions

    Scale up agroforestry, composting, and low-input farming to restore ecosystems.

    3️⃣ Support Inclusive Policy-Making

    Ensure farmer voices especially women and youth — are at the table in climate and agri-policy discussions.

    Clean Water and Sanitation: A Global Injustice We Must End

    2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to safely managed drinking water, and 4.2 billion are without safe sanitation. This isn’t just a development issue, it’s a human rights crisis.

    The UN’s “Still One Earth” report highlights that despite global progress, water and sanitation inequalities persist, especially in low-income regions and conflict-affected areas.

    Lack of clean water and sanitation increases disease, threatens education (especially for girls), and perpetuates poverty. Climate change only worsens this reality, leading to more floods, droughts, and displaced communities.

    At PROSDOMA, we believe water is a right  not a privilege. It’s time for action.

    ✅ What Can Be Done?

    1️⃣ Scale Up Public Investment

    Governments and donors must prioritize water and sanitation in national budgets and recovery plans.

    2️⃣ Support Community-Based Solutions

    Train local workers, empower grassroots organizations, and ensure services are affordable and culturally appropriate.

    3️⃣ Innovate for Equity

    Adopt inclusive technologies; solar pumps, smart sanitation, and low-cost filtration  to reach marginalized communities.

    4️⃣ Ensure Climate Resilience

    Integrate water and sanitation into climate adaptation strategies. Future-proof infrastructure for rising risks.

    Every drop counts  but only if it’s safe and accessible to all.

  • June 5 is World Environment Day!

    June 5 is World Environment Day!

    Since 1973, this United Nations-led day has united over 150 countries to raise awareness and take bold action for the planet. This year’s theme? Ending plastic pollution — a crisis we can no longer ignore.

    Every year, the world produces more than 430 million tonnes of plastic, two-thirds of which become waste. These plastics pollute our oceans, harm wildlife, and even enter our food chain. That’s why countries like South Korea are taking the lead to push for a global plastic treaty — and so are we.

    At PROSDOMA, we believe that environmental justice starts at the community level. That’s why we:
    ✅ Support sustainable food systems
    ✅ Promote zero-waste practices
    ✅ Host tree-planting & reforestation projects
    ✅ Educate and advocate on climate-friendly policies
    ✅ Support newcomers in building eco-conscious communities

     Whether you plant a tree, reduce single-use plastics, or share knowledge — your actions matter.

    This World Environment Day, join the movement toward a cleaner, greener future.

  • Why Do Millions Flee Their Homes? The 6 Causes of Forced Migration Explained.

    Why Do Millions Flee Their Homes? The 6 Causes of Forced Migration Explained.

    Every 2 seconds, one person in the world is forced to flee their home — that’s over 68.5 million people globally. But what drives these urgent and heartbreaking decisions? 

    Here are the 6 major causes of forced migration — where people are displaced against their will, whether within their own country or across borders:

     1. Drought – Prolonged dry seasons destroy crops and leave communities without water, food, or income.

     2. Hunger – When harvests fail or food supplies are cut off due to conflict, families must migrate in search of survival.

     3. Flooding – Devastating floods can wipe out entire villages and force residents to flee for safety, often with no belongings left.

     4. Earthquakes – Sudden natural disasters, like the 2010 earthquake in Haiti or the 2015 Nepal quake, leave millions homeless.

    ⚔ 5. War & Conflict – The leading cause of forced migration. From Syria to South Sudan, violence drives families into exile.

     6. Economic instability – In places with high unemployment and rapid population growth, people migrate in search of opportunities to support their families.

    At PROSDOMA, we work directly with newcomers in Alberta who have faced many of these challenges. From offering essential settlement services to raising awareness of climate and conflict-driven migration, we are here to help build resilience and hope.
    Together, we can support those seeking safety, dignity, and a better life

  • What Makes People Leave Their Homes? Understanding the Root Causes of Migration

    What Makes People Leave Their Homes? Understanding the Root Causes of Migration

    Migration is more than movement — it’s a story of survival, dreams, and the pursuit of a better future. ✨

    Across the globe, millions of people migrate every year. But why do they leave everything behind? The answer lies in four major root causes — push and pull factors that shape lives and destinies:

     Safety Factors: Many flee their homes due to war, persecution, or organized violence. In regions like the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador), gang violence and lawlessness force families to seek safer ground.

     Economic Factors: Poverty, unemployment, and lack of opportunity drive people to migrate to areas with higher wages and job availability. As economies improve or decline, so do migration patterns — as seen in Mexican migration trends to the U.S.

    ️ Environmental Factors: Natural disasters, pollution, and climate change displace millions. From Haiti’s devastating earthquake to prolonged droughts in Syria, environmental crises fuel migration, often leaving communities vulnerable and unsupported.

     Social Factors: Education, healthcare, and better living standards motivate people to move. Migrants want to build a better life for their children, access life-saving treatment, or pursue career growth.

    At PROSDOMA, we see the people behind these statistics. We support newcomers in Alberta with essential services like legal aid, job assistance, and access to shelters. 
    Let’s continue building a world where no one is left behind — whether in Canada or across the globe.

    Glacier Preservation: A Hidden Key to Climate and Financial Stability

    As climate change accelerates, glaciers, nature’s ancient water towers  are disappearing at alarming rates. But what many overlook is that glacier loss is not just an environmental issue; it’s a financial risk.

    According to the United Nations Environment Programme, the melting of glaciers threatens global water security, disrupts agriculture, and impacts over 1.9 billion people dependent on glacier-fed rivers. These risks ripple across economies, financial markets, and food systems.

    In fact, climate-exposed sectors like insurance, agriculture, and energy face rising costs due to unreliable water flows and ecosystem collapse.

    At PROSDOMA, we recognize that protecting glaciers isn’t just about conserving beauty, it’s about preserving livelihoods, food systems, and economic stability.

    ✅ What Can Be Done?

    1️⃣ Finance Glacier Resilience

    Redirect green finance to glacier-adjacent communities and climate adaptation projects.

    2️⃣ Value Water in Investment

    Integrate water risk into ESG frameworks and investment portfolios.

    3️⃣ Protect Glacier Ecosystems

    Support policies and international treaties that safeguard glacier regions from industrial exploitation.

    4️⃣ Educate and Mobilize

    Raise public awareness and engage the financial sector in glacier preservation efforts.

    Water is wealth, let’s protect its source.

    ️ Resilience Starts with Food: Tackling Hunger in the Sahel & Horn of Africa

    Climate shocks, conflict, and economic fragility have made the Sahel and Horn of Africa some of the most food-insecure regions in the world. Today, over 60 million people face hunger, malnutrition, and water stress, many of them women and children.

    According to the FAO (2023), the key to long-term food and nutrition security lies in climate-resilient agriculture, community ownership, and integrated humanitarian-development approaches.

    4 urgent realities:

    1⃣ Rural communities are the most vulnerable.

    Livelihoods are largely dependent on rain-fed agriculture, which is now unpredictable due to drought and desertification.

    2⃣ Malnutrition is rising.

    Over 14 million children under five are acutely malnourished across both regions.

    3⃣ Women play a critical role.

    Women are key to food production and nutrition, yet they lack access to land, credit, and training.

    4⃣ Traditional aid is not enough.

    Emergency responses must be paired with long-term investments in water access, climate-smart farming, and local capacity.

    What can we do?

    ✅ Support agroecological and nutrition-sensitive agriculture

    ✅ Empower women and youth with resources and training

    ✅ Invest in early warning systems and local food systems

    ✅ Foster community-led adaptation strategies

    At PROSDOMA, we stand with local changemakers building food resilience from the ground up. Food justice is climate justice.

    From Soil to Silicon: How AI is Reshaping Agriculture in 2025

    At the 2025 World Economic Forum in Basel, Syngenta Group’s CEO Jeff Rowe declared it loud and clear: 2025 is the year AI will transform agriculture from the lab to the field.

    Five key AI trends are defining this transformation:

    1️⃣ AI in R&D :

     Research projects  use machine learning to identify new active ingredients.

    2️⃣ AI in the Field:

    Smart monitoring systems now generate real-time soil nutrient, carbon, and texture maps.

    3️⃣ AI in Farmers’ Hands:

     GenAI tools serve as personalized digital crop advisors.

    4️⃣ AI in Pest Management:

     Targeted protection reduces waste and overuse of chemicals.

    The AgriTech market is expected to reach $54.17 billion by 2029, and AI in agriculture alone is projected to grow from $1.7B to $4.7B by 2028. According to the WEF, digital agriculture could boost the GDP of low- and middle-income countries by $450B annually.

    But here’s the catch: technology must be accessible. At PROSDOMA, we believe the digital farming revolution must include smallholders, women, and rural communities, not leave them behind.

    It’s not just about smart farms. It’s about fair farms.
