Celebrating Five Years of Innovation and Impact: Children in Rural Areas vs. Children in Urban Areas Challenge

Empowering Communities and Children Through Talentos Multiplus



Greetings, everyone.


My name is Sofonie Dala, and I am the founder of this platform as well as the startup Talentos Multiplus. Our initiative is built on multiple online community labs dedicated to providing innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges, all aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

This platform, which we inaugurated in December 2019, actually came before the official creation and legalization of our startup in July 2020. Today, we are proud and delighted to celebrate the 5th anniversary of our work. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the millions of online viewers who have supported and followed us throughout this journey.

Over these five years, we have revisited and celebrated many successful challenges featured on our platforms. Ladies and gentlemen, it is well recognized and documented that children are the future of tomorrow. That is why today’s tribute is dedicated to them.



We have been working tirelessly to empower children—both in rural and urban areas—through creativity, innovation, and opportunity. As part of this celebration, we invite you to explore the Children’s Art Challenge and discover what captures your attention most:
Children in Rural Areas vs. Children in Urban Areas.

Please click the links below and enjoy the joyful videos created by these talented young minds.

Infant Art Challenge - Monumental effects of climate change on our oceans

The Blue Dot” Art Challenge

About the challenge

Imagine the vastness of the ocean, the mesmerizing dance of marine life, the resilient stories of indigenous communities, and the undying call to preserve this blue wonder. Now, picture the voices of our children echoing their sentiments, dreams, and hopes through art.

Eco-girl 

For Fernanda  Eco-girl means a girl without plastic.

She offers reusable pads because they are durable and eco-friendly and have a positive impact on the environment.

Reusable cloth pads can be washed and reused for several years, reducing the amount of waste produced.

Problem:

Ocean plastics are known to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species are affected by plastic pollution. Menstrual product waste is also a significant contributor to this plastic pollution that harms the ocean.

Microplastics are deadly when consumed by sea animals.

Both macro and microplastics are part of the majority of the sanitary pads that everyone uses. Regular single-use sanitary pads contain nearly 90% of plastics which would take 500-800 years to decompose and even when they do break down, they will just turn into microplastics.
