IDEP has developed a wide range of Sustainable Development & Disaster Risk Reduction Education self-help resources, related to common development and environmental challenges faced in the region.

These resources are specially designed to be fun, engaging and provide children and their educators with an exciting way to learn how to become stewards of our world.

Preparing primary school children to be alert for environmental and disaster issues is our priority. Early education greatly influences the development of our next generation. Children are one of the vulnerable groups when disaster occur, so they need to know what to do. IDEP Foundation has assisted primary schools located in the disaster prone areas through training, and well as providing education about permaculture.

Resources are:
