My Project

Our school is dedicated to fostering civic responsibility and environmental stewardship among students. To encourage hands-on involvement, we are organizing a campus-wide cleanup initiative where students will actively remove litter, promote sustainability, and take pride in their school environment.

To support this initiative, we are requesting funding for essential cleaning supplies and student incentives to ensure the success of this program.

By providing the necessary tools, we can create a safe, effective, and engaging experience that reinforces the value of community service.

We are seeking funding to purchase the following items:

Trash Bags – To collect litter efficiently and properly dispose of waste.

Tongs/Grabbers – To allow students to pick up trash safely and hygienically.

Trash Bins – To place at key locations around the campus for waste collection.

Snacks & Refreshments – To reward students for their participation and encourage engagement.

Goals & Impact

Encourage Civic Responsibility – By engaging in a hands-on cleanup, students learn the importance of keeping their school and community clean.

Promote Environmental Awareness – Students will gain a deeper understanding of the impact of litter and pollution.

Foster Teamwork & Leadership – This initiative will empower students to take ownership of their environment while working together.

Create a Lasting Habit of Stewardship – By providing incentives, we reinforce the message that small actions lead to meaningful change.

Your generous support will provide students with the tools and motivation to make a difference in their school environment. By funding this initiative, you are investing in young leaders who are learning that civic engagement starts with simple yet powerful actions.

We appreciate your consideration and look forward to partnering with you to create a cleaner, greener campus!
