Learn about our Initiation: Zero Waste at School
To address the detrimental environmental and health effects of the improper waste management practices in Nepal, ABC Active contributions for the people and the environment and Clean up Nepal with the support of Forum Civ are implementing the Zero Waste at Schools Program (ZWAS) in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Zero Waste At Schools was formulated by the team of Clean up Nepal specifically with the aim to educate students, school staff and teachers in practices to reduce the amount of waste produced in schools by engaging with the overall stakeholders for a year.
- The Direct Relief supporting Clean up Nepal for a year in research and piloting programs in several schools.
- The British School, helping Clean up Nepal runs it’s first pilot of the Zero Waste at School at their school and supporting two government schools.
- Impact Marathon for providing us the initial support to run several programs in the schools of Kathmandu.
- And finally, our partner organisation ABC who helped us in refinding the program and helping us to deliver effective modules based on the human-centric approach with innovative contents for the school, parents and teachers.
The journey towards zero waste in schools is a collaborative effort powered by a global network of passionate partners, including Direct Relief, ABC (Active Contributions for People and the Environment), and IM Swedish Development Partner. The RIVER+ project, funded by the Plastic Free Rivers and Seas for South Asia Project, is implemented by the South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme, supported by the World Bank, and receives additional implementation support from UNOPS. Together, these organizations are working to create sustainable, eco-friendly solutions for schools and communities.
