EMC Foundation, through its E-STEM Program, continues to collaborate with twenty-one environmental clubs across the coast of Guyana. These include Queen’s College, The Bishop’s High School, St. Stanislaus College, St. Rose’s High, Marian Academy Primary and Secondary, School of the Nations Primary and Secondary, Saxacalli Primary, De Hoop Primary, Little Biaboo Primary, St. Cuthbert’s Primary and Secondary, Moraikobai Primary, Santa Aratak Primary, Wakapau Secondary, Warapoka Primary and Secondary, Georgetown International Academy, Tapakuma Lake Primary and Open Doors School.
During June 2025, the primary and secondary environmental clubs focused on Ecosystems and Responsible Waste Management. For the Primary Work Plan, the topics completed were inclusive of Pollution, Air Quality Control, Reusing, Recycling and GPS. Club members watched videos, created unique projects and posters and practised using technological devices, such as the GPS.
For the Secondary Work Plan, the topics completed were Air, Water and Noise Pollution and Waste Audit. Club members watched videos, listened to presentations and engaged in class discussions.
During June 2025, club members demonstrated keen interest and participation in the sessions. They actively engaged in exploring the types of pollution, how to reuse and recycle, how to increase the quality of the air, how to dispose of waste and how to use GPS devices. They contributed to discussions on the types of pollution and how they are caused, ways in which they could reduce and recycle at home and in their community, and how to contribute to a clean environment by disposing of waste correctly. These efforts reflect the club members growing environmental awareness, demonstrating active participation and a strong commitment to sustainable practices within their communities.
The EMC Foundation was established by Mr. Shyam Nokta, winner of the 2022 Anthony N Sabga Award for Entrepreneurship. The Foundation works to support environmental awareness and education in Guyana by promoting activities which encourage a greater understanding of the environment, creating a network to connect like-minded persons, and providing opportunities to experience Guyana’s rich natural environment.
