Salcon Smart Water Programme (SSWP)

Salcon Smart Water Programme (SSWP) is our flagship community programme to raise awareness on water conservation through a hands-on education approach with the collaboration of Water Watch Penang (WWP) and University Sains Malaysia (USM)

Through the programme, students learn to conduct physical, chemical and biological experiment on river according to our customized syllabus. We measure the effectiveness of the programme through a pre and post survey on the knowledge improvement of the students.

To ensure the sustainability of the programme, Salcon has initiated the first Train-of-Trainers (TOT) Programme in 2013 for the school teachers with the aim to guide and train selected teachers from primary schools in Klang Valley to conduct their own river and water educational programme.
