In Durban, South Africa, EPIC Africa partners are working alongside the communities of Quarry Road and Pholani to turn local challenges into practical, sustainable solutions.

We’re excited to highlight a powerful collaboration in Zapopan, Mexico, where rapid urban growth and environmental challenges have created an urgent need to strengthen environmental education for primary school students.

What began in 2017 with three pilot cities, Nairobi, Lusaka, and Durban, has grown into nearly 15 strong partnerships across EPIC-Africa.

Whether it's in Asia, Africa, Latin America, or the United States, the EPIC-Network is helping institutions stop just "helping" communities and start joining them.

Check out this brief guide on how the model works and how you can get involved.
