The project is being implemented at Ntambanyama Full Primary School in Southern Region District of Thyolo in Malawi.

 The project has restored the school premise degraded landscapes; addressed recurrent disasters, equipped learners with knowledge and skills in environmental and natural resources management, and established a woodlot.
