The Schools Project
The education of our youth lies at the heart of preserving the planet and creating environmental awareness, therefore we aim to empower kids with the knowledge and principles of recycling. The Schools Project was initiated in 2009 as part of our Company's social responsibility campaign and has since signed up 300 clients in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro. Understanding the nature of children, the project was built on the following principle:
“Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may not remember, involve me and I'll understand.”
Resources. Education. Motivation.
The three pillars needed to drive the success of any recycling initiative. The Schools Project assists by providing collections at no cost and by offering various educational activities.
Triple Bottom Line
Businesses and industries in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro now have the opportunity to donate their waste to schools. Through your involvement with this worthwhile project, your Company will become part of an enthusiastic group working towards a cleaner environment and the conservation of our natural resources for the generations to come, saving energy and assisting schools in raising much-needed funds.
