Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Wednesday, 14. January 2026


Kyanja High School, located in Uganda, has been named the winner of the 2026 Zayed Sustainability Prize in the Global High Schools – Sub-Saharan Africa category. The school was recognised for its student-led ‘EcoLoop’ project, an innovative circular farming system designed to combat malnutrition, reduce waste, and strengthen food security in rural communities.

This closed-loop approach eliminates the need for synthetic feed while producing two reliable protein sources — fish and eggs. Through this system, students will gain hands-on skills in agroecology, aquaculture, and sustainable food production.

Over two years, the project will generate more than 3,000 kg of catfish and 27,000 ... Read more »
