eco heroesAligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals
My daughter was 8. She wanted to understand sustainability. Nothing existed for kids. So I built it.
Seventeen award-winning picture books — and the games, trivia and real-world missions that bring them to life.
Seventeen petals. Seventeen goals. Seventeen stories.

Six tools, one mission
The books are the heart. These are the ways a child, a class, or a company puts them to work.
SDG Adventure Game
All seventeen books, playable. Each goal pairs its story with a quiz and a real-world mission — children earn XP, choose avatars, and unlock diplomas.
Trivia Challenge
Spin the wheel, pick a goal, pick your level. Live scoring in 12 languages.
Teachers Hub
34 ready-to-use lesson plans, Train the Trainers methodology, and multilingual classroom resources.
Interactive Handbooks
Explorer (9–12) and Changemaker (13–17) student editions, plus the teacher handbook — the books turned into a working curriculum.
Eco Heroes Academy
Professional SDG certification for tourism and hospitality teams — eight roles, seventy-two modules per goal.
EU Sustainability Assessment
Benchmark your organization against EU criteria and earn a verified badge — the professional end of the same mission.
From curiosity to action
Each goal is a self-contained adventure — read the story, check what stuck, then go and do something about it.
Read the story
Every goal opens with its own picture book, matched to the child's age track — Explorer or Changemaker.
Test what stuck
Quizzes check understanding; Trivia goes deeper across three difficulty levels, with XP across all 17 goals.
Do something real
Every goal ends with a mission off the screen — plant something, save water, talk to a neighbour. Then the diploma.
Eco Heroes is building an experiential learning ecosystem — one where young people see how sustainability challenges connect, investigate real situations, and move from understanding to action. Learning that doesn't stop with the child: it can travel home, into families and communities.
The Social Pillar
Casa Abril — one safe haven, every generation.
A real place in nature for the people who need it most: children, elders and families who would otherwise go without. Free for everyone who comes, built green, sustained with partners.
The books teach the Goals. Casa Abril lives them.
Karim Zouhdi
Founder, Eco Heroes
Three years ago my daughter Abril asked me a question I couldn't answer well. Eco Heroes is what I've been building ever since — to give every child the tools, stories and games to understand the world they're inheriting, and the confidence to change it.
