Self-sufficient model

Since 2012, Wallah We Can has been developing entrepreneurial and ecological solutions to improve children's living and learning conditions. With GreenSchool, we implemented an innovative model in a boarding middle school in Makthar (Siliana governorate), based on energy autonomy and food self-sufficiency.

The generated benefits are reinvested in school infrastructure and educational activities, while creating jobs for parents—in the fields, kitchens or maintenance—thus strengthening local impact in solidarity.

One school, four pillars of change

To become a GreenSchool, each institution can engage in a labeling process around 4 essential axes, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

Child receiving medical check-up.

Student Health

Ensure access to quality care and promote healthy lifestyle habits for all students.

Children in a classroom.

Inclusive Education

Offer a learning environment adapted to each child's needs, fostering personal development.

Fresh vegetables from a garden.

Sustainable Food

Develop a self-sufficient school canteen producing nutritious and environmentally friendly meals.

Solar panels on a roof.

Renewable Energy

Implement clean and sustainable energy solutions for the institution's autonomy.

SDG 4 - Education
SDG 3 - Health
SDG 2 - Zero hunger
SDG 7 - Energy

The GreenSchool pillars are designed to address major challenges of the Tunisian education system while creating a model of an autonomous and sustainable school that can be replicated elsewhere.
