GIVTREE TO SCHOOLS PROJECT IN AFRICA
We must save our continent against the looming climate crisis and to do just that, we must mobilize future generations to also take responsibility. It is time to work on providing and fortifying the canopy of trees that exist around every school environment in Africa.
There are thousands of School premises in every country in Africa spread across communities with thousands of pupils and students, and their teachers. Such environment can afford us the opportunity of galvanizing the large number of school children and students to take part in the GivTree2School project.
The principal focus is get students at early life stage exposed to learning the importance of conserving their environment and teach them the value of tree planting so that they can nurture the trees in schools at exactly when they are being nurtured at school.
The sole purpose of engaging students is to increase their support for local environment and let them learn the culture to adding value to their environment even as they thrive to achieve academic goals. This will also provide us an opportunity to inspire school students, school administrators and communities to take part in the global climate goals.
