Ecochampions Africa

FELLOWS PROJECT Name: Jacqueline Jijide Country : Malawi 🇲🇼 Her project was aimed at raising awareness among primary school learners about the environmental impact of charcoal usage and promote sustainable alternatives. Through engaging activities and educational sessions, the project educated young learners on how to adopt eco-friendly behaviours, reduce charcoal consumption and mitigate climate change. The students participated in a three-day awareness campaign by creating posters depicting activities contributing to climate change. These posters were displayed in the school library for visiting learners to see. Additionally, they attended an educative class on the dangers of charcoal usage to climate change and answered all questions correctly, demonstrating a deep understanding of the topic. Reach: 40 people
