Why does the Green Wira Programme matter?

The Green Wira Programme empowers local teachers to build more Zero Waste schools.

The Green Wira Programme (“GWP”) is an educational programme that focuses on training educators in Malaysia on sustainability & zero waste living implementation.

Currently, the programme is open to educators from primary and secondary schools all across Malaysia (*Only schools within Klang Valley are eligible for seed funding, schools from other states will be eligible for online coaching)


By 2030, GWP aims to empower 10,000 educators to be highly competent and committed in zero waste and environmental causes; educate and impact 1,000,000 students whilst building 100 zero waste schools for a waste-free and sustainable future for Malaysia.
