IMPACT EARTH

Combatting Climate Change

Impact Earth was a part of our programs from the very start — we just didn’t name it! Each of our schools is powered by solar panels and sustainability has been a core value since Impact’s inception. In 2021, these programs were formalized to form Impact Earth.

THE PROBLEM

Despite policy and legal initiatives centered on environmental protection, little has been achieved on the ground to reduce the consequences of environmental degradation for the country and the toll that it continues to take on the people. Over 85% of rural households are affected by worsening crop land conditions, exacerbating the situation beyond an environmental issue, but also a food security one. In particular, the areas that we work are drought-prone and the conservation and efficient use of water becomes critical.

THE SOLUTION

Our Impact Earth initiatives include solar power, rainwater harvesting, tree-planting, and educational upcycling to rethink the use of trash in our school environment. Each of our students participates in environmental activities culminating in an Environmental Awareness Day each term.
