The climate crisis is changing childhood across Africa. Through Eco-Schools, students become climate leaders, growing food, saving water, restoring nature, reducing waste and exploring clean energy solutions. Their actions improve schools, strengthen communities, and inspire lasting change. Your support will equip young people with the skills and confidence to build a more resilient, sustainable future for themselves and future generations.
Across Africa, children are on the frontlines of a climate crisis they did not create. Floods damage classrooms, droughts threaten food security and extreme heat makes learning unsafe. Climate shocks disrupt education and deepen inequality, especially for girls and vulnerable learners. Yet the schools most affected often lack the resources to adapt. Without action, more students will drop out and millions of young people risk missing opportunities in Africa's growing green economy.
Eco-Schools is a proven programme helping schools across Africa become more resilient to climate change. Students lead hands-on projects in water conservation, food growing, waste reduction, biodiversity protection and clean energy. These activities improve learning environments, strengthen food security, boost attendance, and build practical green skills for future jobs. As climate impacts intensify, Eco-Schools offers a ready-to-scale solution that empowers young people to lead change today.
Eco-Schools builds more than environmentally aware students-it creates resilient communities. Students bring climate knowledge home, helping families improve water use, food security and environmental stewardship. They gain practical green skills that support future livelihoods and leadership. With African-led implementation, the programme creates lasting change beyond initial funding, empowering schools and communities to adapt, thrive, and lead climate action for generations.
