The Trash Hero Kids’ programme runs alongside our core activities. It aims to inspire children in Southeast Asia – and all over the world – to take action on waste, through hands-on learning.
By taking the challenge to become a Trash Hero, positive behaviours are reinforced, while children witness first hand the power of small, collective actions on their communities and their environment. We strongly encourage “whole family” participation in the programme as support from parents is crucial to developing good habits.
The programme is based around the Trash Hero Kids’ book, which can be downloaded here, and is supervised in schools or by local Trash Hero chapters.
For physical copies of the book, kindly contact us at kids@trashhero.org. Please note that currently books can only be supplied to schools or registered children’s community groups in Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Malaysia. It is not currently supplied to individuals.
