...start looking for any nonprofits, NGO's, scientific, educational, and aid organizations that are willing and able to rectify this somehow.

It could be as easy as crowd-sourcing funding for the equipment they need, or it could mean a lot of diplomatic footwork.

But this can't be ignored. It's unacceptable that the populations that have done the least to cause climate chaos are the ones who will suffer from it most (including all younger and future generations worldwide).

Any info or action opportunities I can find I will post here and in the Activism group. And if I can't find any, well I'll come back here, gather up some good folk, and together we CAN make it happen.

Added on edit:

I also want to point out that the climate chaos, caused by CO2 emissions, that we're just beginning to experience, is a global situation.

Our atmosphere doesn't have any political or cultural borders.

The problems are literally World-Wide. Any solutions, or mitigation that we try to enact will have to be approached from a global perspective to have any chance of being effective.

The equipment that is missing in Africa is missing from OUR list of tools we could use to take climate action.

When I say "OUR", I mean ALL of US, Humanity, ourselves.
