Description
Air pollution is a big problem in Tamale, especially during the Harmattan season when dust, smoke, and open burning make the air very bad. Many young people suffer from this, but few are involved in finding solutions. The Breathing Green project helps to change that by training and supporting students to become clean air ambassadors in their schools and communities.
The project teaches young people about air pollution, climate change, and how they can help through education, art, and media. It also gives them a voice to talk about clean air on local radio and in their neighborhoods. Through school clubs, clean air walks, and small community actions, students help others to understand why clean air is important for health and for the future.
By training 50 students to reach over 500 people in Tamale, Breathing Green is building awareness and inspiring change. This project shows that when the youth breathe good air, the future also breathes better.
