School Project Sri Sariputta College

The majority of student population at Sri Sariputta College were from low- income level and less privileged community and the surrounding area had number of pressing issues such as improper garbage disposal etc. Although initially students displayed lack of interest and awareness, we were able to successfully convey the necessity of sustainability practices and how to do so as part of their daily routine. The students were encouraged to practice what they have learned with in the school premises. This was reinforced with the poster competition. We believe that such practices will help them to grow up as adults with eco-friendly behavior.
