We are pleased to highlight the establishment of the School Environmental Club at Mocasir School in Mogadishu. Recognizing the importance of educating younger generations about environmental issues, Somali Women in Environment and Climate Change (SWECC) collaborated with Action for Environment (A4E) initiated this program. The goal was to create awareness and foster environmental education among children. Throughout the year, the Club engaged students in various activities such as tree planting, waste management campaigns, and educational workshops on climate change and sustainability.

We also encourage children to use reusable bottles to avoid plastic waste. These activities aimed to instill a sense of responsibility, environmental consciousness, and sustainable practices among the participating students. We are delighted to highlight that the program has been successful so far. It made a positive impact on the students, empowering them to become advocates for the environment within their school and communities. Club members have actively participated in environmental initiatives and demonstrated their commitment to preserving the environment.

Building upon this success, SWECC and A4E aim to expand the School Environmental Club initiative to other schools across Somalia in the upcoming years. By reaching out to more educational institutions, we hope to create a broader network of environmentally conscious students who will contribute to sustainable development and environmental conservation in their communities.

We believe that investing in the environmental education of young children is crucial for building a sustainable future. By equipping them with knowledge and empowering them to take action, we can cultivate a generation that is environmentally aware and actively engaged in protecting our planet.
