In promoting sustainability and fostering good environmental conservation practices, Aga Khan University (AKU) has turned to students and instilled a habit of caring for the environment from a young age. AKU believes that environmentally aware and empowered youth are potentially the greatest agents of change for the long-term protection and stewardship of the environment. Environmental education, according to experts, is a critical aspect of learning that instills respect, admiration, and care for the natural world in children. “Environmental education helps children to understand the importance of preserving our natural resources and provides them with the tools to become responsible environmental stewards,” said environmental enthusiast and expert Dr Moses Miyuwili. In doing so, the university empowered Form Two students from Jangwani Girls' Secondary School in Dar es Salaam. The training was conducted by the AKU student environmental club, accompanied by tree planting at the school.
