Children Programmes

Creative Green Clubs that make environmental learning practical and inclusive.

The challenge

Why this matters

Children, particularly girls, can lose school time helping collect firewood and may have few opportunities for environmental learning.

DORA’s response

After-school Green Clubs use creative activities to teach environmental stewardship while cheaper local briquettes can reduce the time burden of firewood collection.

Activities

What we do

  • Green Club sessions
  • Tree planting
  • Waste sorting activities
  • Creative art-based environmental tools
  • Adapted activities for children with disabilities
Who benefits

School-going children in participating villages, including children with disabilities, and families affected by fuel collection burdens.


Expected outcomes

More consistent school attendance; environmental awareness; less time collecting fuel; future environmental leadership.


Impact
