PROJECTS

Green Cameroon is presently carrying out the following projects.

Under our schools club activities, with the authorization of the ministry of national education, we are creating, operating and running environment clubs in secondary and high schools  in and out of the province. We think this clubs are important because Cameroon does not have environmental education in its secondary and high school programs. We therefore think that it is important that our youths should be introduced to environmental education and be thought to love and care for nature. In these clubs, students are encouraged to carry out small projects like the planting of flower gardens, trees, fruit orchards, general cleaning and waste disposal campaigns. We also organize competitions for the various school clubs after short intervals to keep them busy and active in the field. These competitions are intended to reward those who we think are making progress in deepening their knowledge on the environment. Also in the clubs, students are thought and encouraged to write environmental poems and songs that they can present on occasions and ceremonies. You should visit our picture gallery to see some of our club pictures.

            Green Cameroon also engages in urban sanitation and waste disposal projects. We do tree planting and try to work with the authorities that be to ensure the conservation of our natural resources.

            In the domain of sensitization, we are very active in the fight against global warming and climate change. We are currently partnering with some local and foreign NGOs to unite our effort and make the campaign effective. We regularly organize seminars and public talks on global warming and climate change. We organized a match against global warming in December 2007 and the pics can be found in our photo gallery.

Another project we are working on now is trying to vulgarise the utilization of organic manure wich is not very populare here, by encouraging and teaching rural women how to sort and manage their house hold waste. Our intention is to get a compost pit, do the waste collection and put in place a sample farm where we are going to demonstrate how effective compost manure can be use in cultivation while we also offer technical help to those rural women who are ready to use compost manure in their farms. This project is still in the planning face as all the requirements have not yet been obtained.
