EEFABE Cameroon history, Founded 2017 for Climate Education
Discover EEFABE Cameroon’s journey since 2017: how this youth-led nonprofit based in Douala empowers young people through sustainability, climate and environmental education.
Environmental Education for a Better Earth Cameroon (EEFABE Cameroon) is a youth-led nonprofit organization founded in 2017 by Tchiegdjo Tamo Ulrich Stephane, an inspirational Environmental Science graduate from the University of Buea, Cameroon. Its mission is to empower young people, especially in schools and communities in Cameroon and the world, to take concrete action in protecting and preserving the Earth and its resources through sustainability, environmental awareness, and climate change education.
This initiative was born out of the lack of accessible climate information among young people in Cameroon, despite the recurring challenges of climate variability, extreme weather events, and environmental changes. With a vibrant team of environmental science graduates, the nonprofit has successfully executed several impactful activities in schools and communities.
Although headquartered in Douala, Cameroon, EEFABE Cameroon is designed to carry out its activities globally, with a vision of inspiring climate action across borders.
Our Impact
Since its creation, EEFABE Cameroon has impacted thousands of youth through school presentations, workshops, and community outreach programs. Its frequent online activities and global campaigns have also inspired people from diverse backgrounds to engage in climate action.
Through a well-structured after-school curriculum on sustainability, environmental protection, and climate change education, climate literacy has been introduced in secondary schools and even some higher institutions of learning.
Additionally, EEFABE Cameroon runs a training program on environmentally friendly, income-generating activities, equipping young people with the skills to use nature-based solutions to generate income while addressing the climate crisis.
