After six months of implementing the Water Education Program of “Mizuiku – I love clean water”, Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam (SPVB) collaborated with the NGO Live and Learn to conduct 56 classes with the participation of over 1,600 pupils from 6 elementary schools in Thanh Oai, My Duc, Hanoi.
The project is funded by Suntory Holdings Limited (SHD) Japan and conducted by Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Beverage (SPVB) in coordination with local authorities, schools and Live and Learn. The project has received positive response from participating teachers and pupils so far, which reveals project growth potential.
Since its launching in March 2015, pupils have been engaged in the first two parts of the project. The first part was taught by experts from the NGO of Live and Learn (project stakeholder) and pupils had a chance to learn about water resources in the nature as well as the vital role of water in human life and importance of water resource protection through a series of interactive activities. In the second part of the project, local teachers were trained to deliver the lesson and organize useful and interesting outdoor activities related to water resources.
Mizuiku is a water education program that has been successfully deployed in Japan since 2004 by Suntory Group. Vietnam is the first country other than Japan having this project deployed. In 2015, the project is piloted at six elementary schools in two districts of Hanoi namely My Duc and Thanh Oai and involving the participation of about 1,600 pupils.
