ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN AFRICA
Sana Mare Environmental Club
One in three children worldwide is affected by multidimensional poverty. A child who has no access to education will never be able to escape the vicious circle of poverty. We therefore target our environmental education programmes in Africa at schools attended by children living in poverty. In all three project countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon) there are state schools, most of which are free, and public schools that charge a fee. The state schools are usually poorly equipped and far too small to provide a good education for the large number of pupils. Most of the pupils in these schools do not even have enough money to afford exercise books and pens. We offer our environmental education programmes free of charge as support for the state system, specifically in schools attended by very poor children. Our educational programmes therefore also include bringing writing materials for the pupils. At least for the duration of our workshops, the children and young people should be able to enjoy a good education that is not already limited by material restrictions.
To keep this program running, we need donations.
Money is needed for:
• payment for tutors
• training of tutors
• developing of student material
• equipment
