SEEP - Sustainable Environmental Education Program

generating a cultural shift by actively engaging stakeholders in education

SEEP: The Sustainable Environmental Educational Programme (SEEP) is launched and managed by Let’s Do It World to provide environmental education in schools. In recent years, SEEP has been implemented in Namibia by Let’s Do It Namibia and in Tanzania by Nipe Fagio.

The project is ambitious, with plans to expand to other Let’s Do It World network countries. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the programme aims to increase awareness of best practices for environmental behaviour, focusing specifically on solid waste management, climate change, and establishing the groundwork for the transition to green practices.

In 2023, SEEP revitalised all educational landing pages and toolkits for the project, making them fully digital. In Tanzania as well as Namibia, the SEEP project has engaged 65 schools, enabling them to spearhead SEEP education and empowerment. This initiative inspires the development of green projects in schools, supported by environmental education mentors.

The most successful projects have been showcased in the media, with backing from local authorities. Let’s Do It World is excited about the prospects of expanding the SEEP project model to additional countries within the Let’s Do It World network.

The programme has received support from the Centre for Environmental Investments SA as well as from the Environmental Investment Centre.
