“My Forest Child” Project Supporting Eco Clubs in Nalaikh

Save the Children Korea funded “My Forest Child” project is supporting Eco clubs’ activities in Nalaikh district. On March 25, 2025, during Climate Change Education and Awareness Training, the project team provided essential training materials and resources to promote Eco Club activities to five schools and the Polytechnic College for their commitment to environmental education and conservation.

Additionally, the team introduced a student-led micro-project initiative designed to raise awareness about environmental conservation and climate change. Set to launch in six schools, this initiative will inspire students to take an active role in sustainability efforts and environmental education.

                           

As part of the project, 50 community members have been trained as Climate Change Trainer-Educators (TOTs). These dedicated trainers are now leading a series of community and youth-focused workshops on following key environmental topics, equipping residents with the knowledge and skills needed to drive positive change.

🔹 Climate Change and Adaptation Strategies
🔹 Sustainable Living Practices
🔹 Waste Management and Green Space Development
🔹 Tree and Shrub Planting Techniques

Through partnerships with the Nalaikh District Urban Development and Public Services Department, local khoroo governments, schools, and the Elderly Committee, the project has already reached 250 community members and over 190 students. By the end of the year, we aim to educate 1,500 residents, empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed to combat climate change.

During the training launch, T. Batsukh, Environmental and Green Development Advisor to the Nalaikh District Governor, highlighted the power of collective action:
“Everyone’s participation is crucial in the fight against climate change. This project is a significant step toward fostering active community engagement.”

Bayan-Altai, Save the Children Mongolia’s Country Representative, expressed appreciation for the community’s commitment: “This initiative is more than just planting a 5-hectare green grove—it’s about creating a lasting impact by equipping people with the tools to protect their environment and adapt to climate change.”
