About

The Susty Schools Project brings education on the Sustainable Development Goals to primary and secondary school students across Nigeria. The programme meets young people where they are and helps them understand, care about, and act on the environmental challenges shaping their world. Through a locally grounded curriculum, interactive learning experiences, and hands-on projects, Susty Schools builds not only environmental knowledge but also the confidence and skills young people need to lead.

01

Interactive Learning

We actively engage students through participatory methods, peer discussions, and hands-on activities that deepen understanding rather than passive learning.

02

Experiential Learning

From tree planting to hackathons and recycling challenges, students take part in real-world experiences that make sustainability tangible, not just theoretical.

03

Localised Curriculum

Our curriculum includes local examples, case studies, and cultural perspectives that help students see the relevance of sustainable practices in their own communities and daily lives.

04

Pop-Culture Integration

We use music, film, dance, and other creative outlets to make sustainability relatable and engaging because learning should also be enjoyable.

It was exciting seeing the students taking action and participating in every activity, especially the tree planting. We are happy to see them learn new things about the environment.

I learnt about the SDGs and the teachings have given me the motivation to start living sustainably and teach other students about it.

The recycle bin donated will help the school and the community combat plastic pollution. I love how this project is centred around educating students about the SDGs and how to solve real-world problems using solutions in their immediate environment.

We love that our 10th anniversary turned out this way. We feel fulfilled that we have impacted these students positively. We hope to collaborate more with SustyVibes — we are impressed by their level of organisation.
