We are counting on you to mobilize your communities and spread these new ways of adopting, practicing, and managing climate change,\u201d Ali stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green Schools Project Coordinator Matsika Jenet explained that the curriculum integrates environmental conservation and other practical skills through school gardening, actively engaging youth in climate action to transform livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added that the day\u2019s exhibition was a key component, designed to raise public awareness about recycling and reducing plastic waste, even turning it into a source of school income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students Kemigisha Joanita and Twesenjerize Innocent personally expressed their gratitude for WWF&#8217;s intervention, highlighting the project&#8217;s transformative impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The students attested that the project&#8217;s training and provision of vegetable seedlings have improved their diets, boosted academic performance, and unlocked creativity and income-generating skills for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The WWF Green Schools Project in Rubirizi stands as a powerful testament to how empowering youth with knowledge and practical skills can ignite a community-wide revolution in environmental conservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUBIRIZI, UGANDA &#8211; The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Uganda has taken a significant stride in
