The project aims at improving and creating conducive environment for children within the schools in Luwero District, Central part of Uganda. This will be achieved through formation of vibrant and inclusive environmental clubs and creating spaces as well as forums for children engagement to facilitate better learning environment in 05 government aided primary schools among vulnerable communities.
Outcome 1: Increased life skills and environmental literacy through co-curricular school clubs
Consists of two outputs aiming at forming strong, vibrant and inclusive school environmental clubs in 05 schools and through them build the capacity of children in environmentally friendly practices. The project will, in consultation with teachers and school management, mobilise, organise, coach and mentor children in environment clubs as an entry point to reach both direct and in-direct beneficiaries.
