The Sierra Leone School Green Club – a new dawn for environmental awareness in Sierra Leone
The Sierra Leone School Green Club (SLSGC) is an indigenous Community Based Organization, established in 2015. The organization is engaged in climate change sensitization and mitigation strategy across Sierra Leone.
The organization began as the challenges of climate change started to affect local communities in the country. Sierra Leone is one of the poorest nations in the world; and climate change is having a drastic impact on the livelihood of the already underprivileged communities.
Our vision is to see a greener sustainable environment for all the inhabitants of planet earth (plants and animal). And our mission is to educate the people of Sierra Leone in an effort to create awareness on environmental issues; lobby the political class; engaging in activities that are environmentally friendly and sustainable, in a bid to reversing climate change; engage in civic education, behavioral change and attitudinal change among young people.
