“Though born out of adversity, the Children for Children campaign unites the global Eco-Schools network with the children of The Bahamas not only to show that they care, but to lend their financial support to the ongoing recovery of children affected by Hurricane Dorian. As a low-lying archipelago, The Bahamas is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the adverse effects of climate change. Nevertheless, climate change affects every one of us on earth and it is up to us all to take action,” says Casuarina McKinney-Lambert, Executive Director of BREEF.

The Abaco schools that are in the Eco-Schools Programme are Every Child Counts, Forest Heights Academy, Hope Town  Primary School, Man-O-War Primary School, S.C. Bootle High School, Patrick J. Bethel High School and Central Abaco Primary School.  The Grand Bahama Eco-Schools include Bishop Michael Eldon School, Freeport Gospel Chapel School, Holmes Rock Primary School, Hugh Campbell Primary School and Lucaya International School.

“The overall goal is to raise educational awareness on the impacts of climate change and the increasing vulnerabilities to disasters, and at the same time help the schools in The Bahamas buy new equipment and educational materials that will allow students to return to normality as soon as possible,” says FEE's CEO, Daniel Schaffer.   

BREEF is the official representative for FEE in The Bahamas and has been running the Eco-Schools Bahamas Programme for 10 years providing opportunities for Bahamian students to be stewards of the environment and promoting action on creating a more sustainable world.  To find out more about the Eco-Schools Bahamas Programme and the Eco-Schools Children For Children Campaign, how to donate, school fundraising activities, educational resources and how an Eco-School can register for this campaign, please visit:  https://breef.org/youth-education/eco-schoolsprogramme/
