Summary

As the school year progresses, your donation will help establish composting sites in at least 20 Montessori public schools in Puerto Rico. This initiative engages students in hands-on learning about sustainability and environmental stewardship, empowering them to contribute to the common good. By teaching children to recycle organic waste, we foster a generation of eco-conscious leaders dedicated to making a positive impact on their communities. Join us in this vital mission!

Challenge

Currently there are 22 Montessori public schools with environmental projects and we want to strengthen these experiences with composters. Furthermore, this action enriches their education in a very concrete way, but it is also a positive action in the face of climate change.

Solution

Your generous donation will empower Montessori schools to enhance sustainability through engaging composting workshops for teachers, students, and the community. With your support, we will provide essential materials such as thermometers, shovels, rakes, pallets, buckets, gloves, and a forklift. Together, we can cultivate a culture of environmental stewardship that enriches education and fosters a healthier planet for future generations. Join us in making a lasting impact on our communities!

Long-Term Impact

The long-term impact of this initiative is profound: 100 students will gain essential composting skills, empowering them to actively contribute to climate change solutions. By taking this knowledge home, they will inspire their families and communities to adopt sustainable practices, fostering a society that prioritizes environmental health. Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive change, equipping the next generation to build a better, more sustainable future for all.
