In 2024, WARC's annual ecological education project returned to Janabazar village in Kegeyli, in the Karakalpakstan. The two-week project in May 2024 expanded on our previous initiatives throughout Karakalpakstan and in this community. On the technical side, our project furthered our goal of promoting sustainable ecological and agricultural practices within rural schools, focusing on efficient water use and field irrigation methods in particular. The WARC team checked on our previously installed reverse-osmosis filter and worked with local providers to install a drip-irrigation-powered greenhouse on school grounds.

Central to WARC’s mission is combining service with education and fostering genuine connections with the communities we serve. In our third visit to the Janabazar community, we presented the current edition of our annual educational program, “Voices of the Aral Region.” Our curriculum, built around interactive workshops and student-created and student-focused content, was crafted to help students find and use their voice for environmental advocacy and designed to support our engineering projects.​
