AgriShine Schools Initiative

AgriShine Schools Initiative ✨

Launch: AgriShine was launched in Abuja on July 24, 2025, in collaboration with the Department of Science, Technology & Innovation (Abuja) and endorsed by the FCT Secondary Education Board.
Guided by Lichipu — “let’s do it together.”

Our goal is to build climate-smart literacy in schools and improve daily wellbeing through sustainable farming, school gardens, smart water use, energy awareness, and waste reduction—grounded in practical action and community values.

AgriShine Launch Activity

What Students Learn

Climate-Smart Literacy

Weather vs. climate, local risks, everyday adaptation habits, and eco-ethics.

Sustainable Farming

Soil health, seed choice, composting, crop rotation, and non-chemical IPM.
