Fe y Alegría in Uruguay works in the field of social transformation through high quality global education.
Cultivating Environmental Awareness
The project aims to encourage healthy habits and caring for the environment among 45 children who attend the "Nuestro Lugar" children’s club and their families through weekly workshops on traditional and hydroponic crop cultivation, as well as on recycling waste and using renewable energies. It also plans activities with the community to help increase neighbors’ awareness of the importance of looking after nature in their neighborhood and how they can improve their surrounding environment.
