Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

Ekopages is an education for Sustainability (ESD) platform that improves literacy in children across Nigeria while imparting them with green education to champion sustainable development in their communities.

01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

At Ekopages, we operate on 4 pillars: 1, An e-learning platform for children and teachers where they can access free and affordable indigenous ESD learning materials like books, courses, quizzes and short stories. 2, A community Development program tagged "The SDG Literacy Drive" where we sensitize children in marginalized communities about sustainability and climate education and cause them to take action in their communities. Through partnerships with local organizations and schools, we conduct literacy and climate education workshops, reaching over 50,000 children in the past two years. 3, We advocate for the adoption of ESD into the child learning curriculum. A testament of this is the inculcation of our books into the learning curriculum of Lagos State. 4. We provide a platform for other ESD creators to showcase and sell their works.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

In accordance with indicator 4.7 'By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development' , according to our survey, over 90% of children in Nigeria are ignorant about sustainable development.
