“One Health” principles are integrated into the curriculum, highlighting the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. The program includes engaging activities like student and community game drives to foster appreciation for wildlife and mitigate human-wildlife conflict. Twice annually, the “Chipemeble Education Swap Program” brings students from other schools to visit village schools, promoting conservation and Mushingashi’s sustainability efforts. This comprehensive program covers topics like ecosystems, fish, and animals, culminating in Conservation Club Tests for participating students. Furthermore, we organize career days, like the one at Kafwikamo School where Elliud presented to 250 students and teachers, showcasing career paths within the conservation sector. The program is implemented through monthly conservation club meetings, school-based education programs, game drives, and the ongoing construction of an education center on our property.
