"EM Mud Balls" for I CAN Global Summit

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

The students from SMK Sultan Ahmad Tajudddin represented Malaysia and presented their project “EM MUDBALLS THROWING PROJECT” at the I CAN Children’s Global Summit 2019 in Rome, Italy from the 26th-30th November 2019. 

Now, they are fundraising to recuperate their travel expenses and to keep their project sustainable beyond 2019. Let's help them reach the target amount!

THE PROBLEM

We are students of SMK Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin.

This year, we led a social impact project in our school, “EM MUD BALLS THROWING PROJECT”, as part of the I CAN SCHOOL CHALLENGE 2019.

The purpose of the challenge was to build a financially sustainable and scalable business model covering one of the 12 different Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We chose to tackle the problem of river pollution. We noticed that drains leading to the Kerian River are murky, clogged, and emit foul smell. The bigger issue was that the community remained oblivious on the dire effects of this problem.

We addressed this problem by spreading awareness at schools in Perak and Kelantan on the importance of clean drains and rivers. We also demonstrated how to make simple yet effective mud balls using clay, molasses, EM solution and bran.

THE SOLUTION

Out of 86 participating teams in the I CAN Challenge, we placed in the TOP 10 and were selected to represent Malaysia in the I CAN Children’s Global Summit 2019 in Rome, Italy.

Now, we need your help! We are fundraising for 5 members of our team and 1 chaperone teacher to travel to Rome. The summit will take place on the 26th-30th November 2019.

I CAN is a 4-day international gathering of more than 2,000 students from 60+ countries empowered with the I CAN mindset. It serves as a global platform to showcase their stories of change and the ways they have positively impacted their communities across the world.

The celebration is also packed with talks, workshops and exhibitions especially designed to further instill in children the belief and courage that they have the ability to take action and make the world a better place.

THE IMPACT

With your help, we will get the opportunity to present our project on a global stage!

We are looking forward to engage in 4 days of CommUNITY, Collaboration, Creative Solutions, Inspiration, and Impact!
