Through WIJABA’s Environmental Education Program in partnership with Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Roots & Shoots USA, children learn to care for people, animals, and nature.

They take part in fun projects, such as creating anti-bullying campaigns and learning how to care for their pets. These activities teach children to be kind, caring, and responsible.

Every small action can make the world a better place. Let’s be kind to others, care for animals, and protect our planet! 🌍💚

When teachers are empowered, they can inspire a generation to care for our planet 🌏🌱

Through the WIJABA Teacher Training at Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo University, we brought teachers together to better understand the program and explore practical ways to bring environmental education into their schools.

We were proud to welcome 384 institutions and schools to take part in this meaningful training! Together, we are strengthening the role of teachers in inspiring students to care for, protect, and make a positive difference for our environment.
