SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION TRUST AFRICA

Building a Sustainable Africa Through Conservation and Community Empowerment

Who We Are

Sustainable Environmental Conservation Trust Africa (SECTA) is a local non-governmental organization founded in 2011 that aims to protect and restore the environment in Zimbabwe.

For the past years SECTA has done environmental education and awareness raising campaigns, restored degraded lands and equipped communities with sustainable livelihood skills such as agroforestry. 

SECTA has played a vital role in schools and community environmental education. SECTA believes in the “Catching them young” concept, to instill environmental behavior change in the youth. The organization uses the bottom up and Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approaches to community empowerment and for the uplift of extremely vulnerable, marginalized and poorest of the poor in the society. SECTA is working with youth, children and communities with the vision that they are agents of change and hold the key for a prosperous future and can sustainably develop the nation.

zimbabweyouthdelegates - workshop for teachers running environmental clubs in schools with SECTA

The workshop was a success. The turn up was higher than expected and feedback was very good. All the participants were given a copy of the Youth Club Manual and we made action plans together on how to implement the topics in the different schools.
