Nine primary and secondary schools have been awarded funding to kickstart innovative water conservation projects as part of the LIFE School Projects initiative by the Energy and Water Agency. The sixth call of the LIFE School Projects initiative was officially launched by Minister Miriam Dalli and Energy and Water Agency CEO Manuel Sapiano during an educational event held at Ghajn, the water conservation center in Rabat.

CEO Manuel Sapiano praised the students' enthusiasm, emphasising the integration of conservation practices into education.

The participating schools for this year's initiative include St Patrick's Salesian School Sliema, St Thomas More Fgura A, St Thomas More Tarxien Primary School, Maria Regina College Qawra Primary, San Ġorġ Preca College Valletta Primary, Gozo College Patri Mattew Sultana Xagħra Primary, Gozo College Mons Giov. Andrea Vella Żebbuġ Primary, St Augustine College Pietà, and Sacred Heart, Sliema.
