The Challenge
Climate change was making it harder for girls to stay in school. The girls in this CAP took it on directly. They organized tree planting across their classes and called on parents to step up, working to build a school environment where girls could learn and grow more resilient to the changes around them.
The Action
• Organized tree planting across school classes (at least two trees per class) to build climate resilience and improve the school environment
• Created a mural emphasizing the importance of education
• Presented poetry and spoken word pieces exploring how climate change impacts girls' ability to stay in school
• Called on parents to provide consistent support and on learners to stay focused on their studies
The Impact
