About Us
The Education 4 Adaptation Accelerator
There is a silent crisis in our education system. The truth remains that hundreds of millions of children are either out of school entirely or receiving an under-resourced education they are failing to achieve basic literacy and numeracy even after several years of schooling. The journey towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (quality education) has been hindered by unforeseen pandemic to harsh climatic impacts, necessitating innovative and groundbreaking solutions to transform our education systems and adapt them to the evolving environment.
Our solution is to green curriculums & schools. We aim to make schools green hubs of education with a current focus on plastics & food systems. We implement a classroom-based approach combined with practical engagement. We have collaborated with #BreakFreeFromPlastic to support the integration of plastic education in Ghana’s education curriculum. Practical activity involves supporting partner schools in eliminating single-use plastics, replacing them with eco-friendly alternatives. We plan to expand the curriculum to include food systems, support school caterers to transform school menus & partner with market women to localize our food education and craft a food system strategy for Ghanaian schools.
