Waste Management: An Overlooked Driver of Climate Change

Clean Water & Sanitation Programs

We believe that access to clean water and proper sanitation is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of public health. Our Clean Water and Sanitation Project is dedicated to promoting safe water practices, improving sanitation facilities, and raising community awareness on hygiene and water conservation.

Environmental Health Clubs

As part of our commitment to nurturing young environmental leaders, EcoStewards for Health Initiative (ESHI) runs the Environmental Health Clubs Program in secondary schools. This project empowers students to become active participants in safeguarding both their health and the environment.

Walk for Climate

Walk for Climate is an annual flagship event organized by EcoStewards for Health Initiative (ESHI) every November, designed to raise awareness and inspire action on climate change.
