Who are we

YAWA is based on “Greening for a Sustainable Future” a multi-tiered set of modules developed to inculcate a deep sense of belonging to, and responsibility for, the environment.
Through our activities we hope to guide people to take action toward sustainability via a balanced environmental, economic and social approach that will protect our natural environment while improving the quality of life for all people.

Our activities
– Acclimatisation projects: Young people are challenged to get close to nature through hands on, non-confrontational activities.
– Eco-Camping projects: Introduction to camping for beginners at our eco-camp site in Rincing Hilir, Bangi.
– Conservation Studies
Work in partnership with Environmental Organisations such as World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Malaysia Nature Society (MNS), and Sea Turtle Rescue Unit (SEATRU).
– Community Involvement – YAWA works closely with the community and children from all walks of life to reach it’s objectives in caring of the environment.
– Eco-Expression: YAWA documents all work done by children through art, reports, poems and record in the information kit called Share the Planet.

Our goals
– To guide young people to become responsible adults, fully committed to the protection of their environment.
