Nestlé Nigeria has trained over 750 children, beneficiaries of the Nestlé for Healthier Kids 

(N4HK) program in six primary schools in Ogun State and the Federal Capital Territory.

Now in its third season, Nestlé Sustainability Training for Kids is implemented in 

collaboration with the International Climate Change Development Initiative (ICCDI). The 

key objective is to enable children imbibe a sustainability mindset from an early age, 

thereby equipping them to become better stewards of the planet. The participating 

children are furnished with information on waste management, introduced to the 

conversion of waste to useful items, and are encouraged to adopt positive behavioral 

changes to enhance environmental sustainability.

In a statement announcing the start of the training at Sokoya Memorial Primary School, 

Sagamu, Ogun State, Victoria Uwadoka, the Corporate Communications and Public 

Affairs Manager of Nestlé Nigeria PLC said, “Equipping children with the right information 

to help them develop a sustainability mindset is a significant first step in ensuring more  

responsible management of waste in line with our shared vision of a waste free future. 

“At Nestlé Nigeria, we are committed to protecting the environment for future 

generations. We are aware that children play a key role in achieving this objective. We are 

therefore delighted to collaborate with ICCDI, the Ogun State Ministry of Environment, 

Ogun State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency, the FCT and Ogun State Universal 

Basic Education Boards on the Sustainability Training for Kids”, she added.

On his part, founder of the International Climate Change Development Initiative (ICCDI) 

said, “We are happy that more children are benefitting from this training. ICCDI will 

continue to do her part in ensuring that future generations are equipped with the requisite 

knowledge to enable them appreciate our planet and understand their responsibility and 

role towards protecting it”.
