ABOUT US
Tomorrow’s environmental leaders are already in our classrooms.
The Green Heroes Schools Programme is an environmental education initiative developed by DZI 0% Waste Recycling in partnership with the Nomfundo Dzingwa Foundation. Through practical, action-based learning, learners grow into responsible environmental stewards at school, at home and in their communities.

“Partnering with Dzizerowaste has been a transformative experience for our school. Our learners are not only more aware of the importance of recycling and sustainability, but they are also actively leading initiatives within the school. The workshops have been engaging, practical, and perfectly suited to our learners’ level. We’ve seen a real shift in attitudes children are proud to be eco-leaders, and parents have joined in our community drives. Dzizerowaste has helped us turn environmental awareness into everyday practice, and we are grateful for the positive impact this partnership continues to bring.”
A programme rooted in Harding reaching further every year.
Schools we work with
The programme begins through a phased implementation approach, connecting schools across the greater Harding area, nearby uMzimkhulu communities and surrounding Traditional Authority areas.
