Zero plastic for a sustainable planet

NATURELCD is a non-governmental organisation that bases its activities on environmental and climate education.

An initiative of NATURELCD

Overview of the project

Zero Plastic for a Sustainable Planet is an environmental and climate education programme being run in schools in North and South Kivu from December 2024 to June 2025.

Supported by NATURELCD and AUPIC, it aims to train teachers and raise awareness among pupils from an early age.

The project comprises three stages: raising awareness, concrete action (collecting waste, planting trees) and processing plastic waste.

Children learn to create useful objects from waste, while helping to make their school and neighbourhood greener.

Its slogan: ‘Educate to save, protect, conserve and act’.

Objective

Training children as climate ambassadors and spreading the message of climate action throughout the DRC.

Level of progress

Ongoing research

Project timeline

Du 10/12/2024 au 15 juin 2025

Quantitative results

The project is underway and we will determine at the end of June

Qualitative results

This is an ongoing project. We need to train at least 5,000 children as climate and environment ambassadors by June 2025. These ambassadors will be our spokespeople to their parents and everyone around them.

Financing

The project has no funding, it's just a local project. We have a joint fund made up of members of two organisations, NATURELCD and Aupic de l'info. The local contribution enabled us to visit 10 schools in Goma.
Given the current security situation, we have stopped our activities in Goma for the time being.
We hope to restart on 10 April during climate week.
