Kesho Njema: Empowering Youth for Climate Action and Safer Communities
Kesho Njema: Empowering Youth for Climate Action and Safer Communities
Under the Kesho Njema Project implemented by MyLEGACY with support from the Embassy of Ireland in Tanzania, the training brought together students from 25 schools across Kunduchi, Wazo, and Kawe wards, reaching 775 students and engaging 26 teachers to build their capacity in energy conservation, climate action, and gender-responsive environmental leadership.
In September and October 2025, MyLEGACY conducted a series of interactive student training sessions aimed at raising awareness, inspiring leadership, and encouraging students to actively protect the environment while promoting safer, more resilient communities.
Success Story: Creativity and Climate Leadership from Kisauke & Twiga Schools
A highlight of this phase came from students at Kisauke and Twiga Secondary Schools. During the training, students were tasked with creating visual illustrations to show how they could share knowledge with peers and their communities about energy conservation and environmental protection.
The results were outstanding.
Students produced thoughtful, creative, and impactful illustrations demonstrating:
Practical ways households can save energy
How students can influence peers through clubs, posters, and peer-to-peer learning
Everyday habits that support environmental sustainability
The role of young people in driving positive change
These illustrations reflect a deep understanding of climate challenges and highlight the students’ readiness to become ambassadors of environmental awareness. Their confidence in teaching others—both at school and at home—demonstrates the project’s core mission: transforming knowledge into meaningful action.
Development of EAC Awareness Materials
To ensure continuous learning, MyLEGACY also developed and designed EAC (Energy Awareness & Conservation) educational materials.
These resources will help schools maintain ongoing awareness and practical application of climate and energy conservation long after the training sessions are completed.
