Impact
EC funding contributes towards Kasanka Trust’s effective environmental education program.
The objective is to strengthen and support environmental education outreach activities in the 21 WECSZ Conservation Clubs in the area (with a total of 1260 members).
This work includes training the club mentors, providing resources, organizing activities, bringing school groups to see the bats in the park and taking students on game drives to nurture the understanding as to why conserving wildlife is important.
The EC funding also supports the primary school, run by KT, for the children in the immediate vicinity.
