Public Schools Climate Champions Award Ceremony

Today we had the pleasure to attend to one of the many climate change initiatives KCCA fosters and supports, empowering children to become conscious about their surrounding environment, at Kitante amphitheater.

It was such a joy to see the children proudly present their environmentally friendly projects, from fuel briquettes made out of waste, to biogas digesters, toys made out of plastic bags, herbal medicine, jewellery, and much more.

Nakivubo Blue Primary School won the competition, and the prize included 4 new institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) for their kitchen. We are so excited to be adding a new KCCA school under our carbon financing Project Activity! This means their new IICS will be receiving free annual maintenance for the next 5 years, ensuring the firewood savings are kept to a maximum. I will be at the school tomorrow measuring their saucepans, and will be posting again as the school makes the transition in their cooking practices and habits.
