350 students from all 14 Kasiisi Project/ Kibale Forest Schools gathered together to celebrate Earth Day. The students showcased their wildlife club activities to each other and to about 150 parents and representatives of local government, other NGOs and Wildlife Authorities.
The Kasiisi Project schools border Kibale National Park which is the forest home of rare and endangered special including monkeys, elephants, and chimpanzees. The areas human population is growing at an alarming rate and putting enormous pressure on the park. The Kasiisi Project is committed to instilling a commitment of environmental stewardship in Uganda's next generation and encourage a more sustainable way of living.
How does the Kasiisi Projects environmental commitment and sanitary pad project support the same mission? Because the Kasiisi Project believes that developing initiatives to assist girls in successfully completing school and their education is a benefit to the environment. Training girls to be environmental leaders, entrepreneurs, and government officials means that these young women will be advocates for the land, environment and species around Kibale National Park ! And when women are working and learning, they are educating others about healthier and more environmentally friendly ways to cook their food, raise children and make money.
