Sharjah24: The Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) has launched its annual programme to promote the rational use of electricity and water, coinciding with the start of the new school year. The initiative aims to raise awareness among more than 3,000 students across private and public schools in Sharjah, focusing on efficient practices and responsible consumption.
Commitment to sustainability
Rashid Al Marzouqi, Director of Media and Communication at SEWA, said the programme reflects the authority’s commitment to supporting sustainability efforts in Sharjah, contributing to environmental goals, conserving natural resources, and reducing carbon emissions. He noted that the initiative also helps instil positive values, engage students in the back-to-school season, and highlight SEWA’s role as a leading, responsible organisation.

Interactive activities and school visits
Saeed Al Naqbi, Head of Education and Awareness, explained that the programme includes school visits, cartoon character appearances, and the distribution of educational gifts encouraging conservation practices. Activities also feature interactive workshops on saving energy and water at home and school, as well as competitions and prizes to motivate student participation. Practical advice is shared on efficient use of electrical appliances and water conservation.

Call for wider school participation
SEWA has called on all schools in Sharjah to actively engage with the programme, emphasising that joint efforts can make a real difference in protecting the environment and ensuring a more sustainable future.
