Summary

This project trains internally displaced youth and young mothers in regenerative agriculture while building the Wandusoa Ecological Learning Centre in Kamba, Mfou. Designed with Journeyman International, this campus features eco-classrooms, processing facilities, and seed vaults built from Compressed Stabilised Earth Blocks. Blending hands-on agroforestry with green infrastructure, we restore topsoil, eliminate food insecurity, and launch sustainable youth enterprises.

Challenge

In Cameroon, 75% of arable land is severely degraded, putting displaced youth and young mothers on the front lines of food insecurity. While demand for regenerative agriculture training is rapidly growing, a critical lack of climate-resilient infrastructure persists. Without a permanent facility for hands-on learning, seed preservation, and value-addition processing, vulnerable rural youth cannot access the long-term resources required to heal soil and build economic security.

Solution

Partnering with Journeyman International, we are constructing a low-carbon Ecological Learning Centre in Kamba, Mfou, while running youth training academies. Built from Compressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEBs), the campus features passive-cooling classrooms, an organic seed vault, and a commercial cassava processing unit. This living laboratory merges sustainable infrastructure with agroforestry, enabling scholars to master soil restoration, reduce losses, and process raw harvests.

Long-Term Impact

Built on a modular, low-carbon grid design, the Kamba campus will expand training capacity to serve entire regional cohorts. The cassava processing hub and seed vault will anchor a self-sustaining cooperative economy-boosting local farm incomes by 40% and directly benefiting 10,000+ community members. This permanent infrastructure will seed a network of youth-led regenerative enterprises, sequestering carbon and securing permanent food sovereignty across central Cameroon.
