Educating African schoolchildren about waste recycling

Moi Jeu Tri teams are mobilized to raise awareness among students about the challenges of bio-waste management. 

We raise awareness and teach students to produce compost and reuse it. Students bring the organic waste they produce in their families to the school. 

This compost is then used to feed the vegetable garden set up in the school and used by the school canteens. 

Today, 15 schools in Togo and Côte d'Ivoire are equipped with composters and biodigesters, and 8,000 pupils have been made aware of the issues involved in recovering bio-waste and producing organic vegetables.

It was at the Ephphata school in Lomé, Togo, that our animators were able to pass on eco-gestures in favor of ocean preservation. In this school, adapted for deaf and hearing-impaired children, we raised awareness in several classes. Thanks to the teachers' use of sign language, our teaching and practices have been adapted for better transmission to the pupils. 

Understanding the birth of the Earth and its oceans, the birth of life and the water cycle are all themes addressed by our Ma Planète Bleue program, through an educational booklet co-created with the Fondation de la Mer. The aim of the program is to mobilize all young citizens around the ecological issues linked to the protection of marine ecosystems.

This year in Togo, we aim to raise awareness of the Ma Planète Bleue program among pupils in some 50 schools in Lomé and Togoville.
