    Objective:

    The aim of the project is to involve youths in the protection of the environment and conservation of biodiversity while trying to bring about a general change in attitude towards conservation issues in our community, developing in them the love and awareness of nature and equipping them with the necessary knowledge needed to understand the environment around them to enable them contribute towards its sustainability. The project is very sustainable because it has to do with nurturing youths who will grow up to be leaders of tomorrow and get to apply what they have learnt and believe in. We strongly believe that this is a good strategy to attain a complete change of mentality in our society in the long run.

    Trough this project, we work on creating awareness and impacting love for the environment in our youths. We do this through the creation and running of environmental clubs in primary, secondary and high schools. We have created and run more than 100 clubs since 2006 leading to the implementation of numerous conservation projects ranging from designing of plays aimed at sensitizing on environmental issues, to projects like, tree nurseries, flower gardens, fruit orchards, environmental corners, cleaning of rivers and other waste disposal/recycling schemes all planed and executed by students/club members under our supervision and support.
