Climate change poses an existential threat to communities across Africa. Despite being among the lowest contributors to global emissions, African nations face disproportionate impacts including droughts, floods, and resource scarcity.
Traditional education systems often lack comprehensive environmental curriculum, leaving young people unprepared to address these challenges. The Green Schools Initiative bridges this gap.

ECHO's public health work focuses on infectious disease prevention, surveillance, and community health systems. Outreach services described by ECHO include screening, HIV/PMTCT counselling, TB testing, and health education for underserved communities. The aim is to support equitable access to care and improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
The initiative focuses on coastal and riverine communities affected by climate pressures. It promotes mangrove restoration and conservation, environmental awareness, and community participation in local resilience efforts. ECHO works toward connecting ecosystem stewardship with sustainable development.
ECHO's school programmes aim to equip young people with digital skills and connect children with books and learning resources. ReadCycle supports literacy and reuse, while Plastics for Books links environmental action with educational access. Activities are designed to support learning continuity and community participation.
Programme monitoring can consider access to books, learning resources, and climate education.
School, family, and community participation helps inform programme delivery and local priorities.
Feedback from communities and partners helps assess how activities respond to local education, health, and environmental needs.
"The renovation of the school’s water tank and clearing of overgrown grass significantly improved safety on the school premises. I was surprised to find that four snakes were discovered and removed during the process, eliminating a serious threat to pupils and staff and restoring confidence in the learning environment."
— Mrs Patience O. HM State Primary school Okoro-nodu, Rumuokoro
"The provision of free school supplies and books led to a noticeable increase in pupil attendance. Children who had previously stayed away from school returned, while improved access to learning materials strengthened lesson delivery and classroom engagement."
— Mrs Adaka I. Class Teacher, State school 1 Eyaa, Eleme.
