Who We Are?
Who We Are
Environmental Education for a Better Earth Canada is a nonprofit organization focused on empowering young people in schools and communities to combat climate change and environmental degradation through environmental sustainability and climate change education. We carry out our activities worldwide, with significant activities in sub-Saharan Africa.
Our Vision
Our vision is to establish a self-sustaining and autonomous organisation dedicated to advancing climate change education and environmental preservation. We aim to educate and empower young people on sustainability, the environmental and climate crisis, and sustainable development goals. By uniting youth and community leaders, we aspire to share best practices in climate change adaptation and environmental protection, fostering a collaborative and informed approach to safeguarding our planet.
Our Mission
Our mission is to lead sensitization campaigns on climate change and environmental protection in schools and communities. We have developed an afterschool curriculum to empower young people with knowledge on sustainability, environmental, and climate change education weekly. Through partnerships and collaborations, we aim to equip youth with skills in information and communication technology, spearhead tree-planting activities, contribute to food and fruit gardening, and collaborate with community-based organizations to protect the environment
THE WAY WE WORK
Empowering Youth in Schools for a Sustainable Future
At EEFABE-Canada, we are dedicated to empowering the next generation with the essential skills and knowledge they need to become environmental leaders. Our programs are designed to reflect real-life situations and challenges, ensuring that our youth are well-equipped to take charge of their environment. Every week, we bring sustainability, environmental, and climate change education into schools through engaging extracurricular activities. These hands-on experiences foster a deep understanding and appreciation for our planet, inspiring young people to make a positive impact in their communities. Our innovative approach ensures that learning is both practical and relevant, preparing students to tackle the pressing environmental issues of our time. By participating in our programs, youth gain the confidence and tools necessary to drive meaningful change and contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
We Engage Communities
At EEFABE-Canada, we believe in the power of the community to protect and preserve our parks and community forests. Our dedicated efforts focus on mobilizing local residents to take active roles in maintaining these vital green spaces. Through door-to-door outreach, engaging dialogues, and comprehensive educational campaigns, we inspire collective action to eradicate plastic litter, remove invasive species, and make informed decisions for the benefit of our environment. Our initiatives not only enhance the natural beauty and health of our parks but also foster a sense of community pride and responsibility. By working together, we create cleaner, safer, and more vibrant green spaces for everyone to enjoy
Innovative Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Change
We harness the power of nature to combat climate change by developing and implementing innovative nature-based solutions. Our programs empower young people with practical skills in fruit and vegetable gardening, tree planting, and eco-friendly income-generating activities. These initiatives not only address environmental challenges but also inspire a shift towards sustainable living within our communities. Through hands-on learning and community engagement, we foster a deep connection with nature and promote resilience, ensuring a greener, healthier future for all.
Youth Active Participation
We are committed to ensuring that young people have a voice in the decisions that shape their communities and environment. Our dynamic advocacy campaigns and active involvement in municipal and provincial meetings, conferences, and events empower youth to participate meaningfully in the decision-making process. By equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to engage with policymakers and community leaders, we foster a generation of informed and proactive citizens. Our initiatives not only amplify the voices of young people but also inspire them to take ownership of their future. Through hands-on experience and real-world involvement, we nurture leadership skills and a deep sense of responsibility towards their community and the environment
