SUPPORTING CONSERVATION EDUCATION

Elsa Conservation Trust is delighted to be part of an exciting digital education initiative that aims to fill a critical gap in children’s education, by providing teachers and learners across Sub-Saharan Africa with a range of appropriate, freely available digital resources developed by the iAfrica Foundation, a UK charity. The iLearnabout pilot aims to increase awareness and understanding of environmental and conservation challenges and their solutions.
