Happy Green World Foundation

About Happy Green World Foundation

We deliver environmental education for children around the world. We form partnerships with interested organizations who generally work in areas of education or sustainability. The work of our not-for-profit foundation is supported by sponsorship of various international companies and organisations, usually located in the country of the local partner. With their help, we are able to print the educational materials in the partner’s country for use in local schools.

Our educational programmes consist of an activity guide, a student book and a game, all colourfully illustrated. The activities and illustrations are specifically designed to represent the environment and problems experienced in a country or region. This explains why a programme for a child from the island of Flores in Indonesia is different to a programme for a child living in the city of Cairo in Egypt, both by design and content. Our most popular programme is focused on waste education. The waste programme is taught in Egypt, Indonesia, The Netherlands, Ghana, Australia, Senegal, Ethiopia, and Thailand and it will soon be available in Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Congo, Burundi, Guinea and Burkino Faso.

At Happy Green World, we value the importance of children learning through play and activities. We offer practical solutions that are easy to learn and are attuned to the child’s experience in their cultural setting. For instance, through activities like making compost, re-using plastic or tidying up a school playground, children learn that they can directly influence their own environment.

Repetition is essential for learning sustainable behaviour. Our programme is designed to reiterate important lessons, through a variety of experiences. That is why we have developed a game and an activity guide in addition to the student book. Happy Green World cultivates sustainable relationships with local partners, who teach the customised programme to children in their home country.
