In 2006 Africa-Edusa bought 10 hectares of land in Loum (Cameroon) with the aim of creating a palm tree field “Tenera” to obtain palm oil, one of Cameroon’s diet basic elements. Nowadays the project needs economical resources to prepare the field’s ground and plant the palm trees, whose production will not be effective in the next 5 years. Part of the field will be used to plant other comestible vegetables to feed shelter’s children. This project takes part in the area of agronomy and specially in the area of vegetable productivity. It can provide work to the local population and it’s productivity will help us finance other future projects.
In September 2007 a children shelter was set up in Kekem (Cameroon). AFRICA-EduSa takes care of abandoned, handicapped, orphan and needy children to help them grow up and develop as teenagers, providing them education and insertion to Cameroon’s society. AFRICA-EduSa provides the materials and human resources to help theses children. Our intervention area consists of the villages of Kekem, Loum, Chantier-cie and Loum Chantier gare.
With your help and the help of some supportive enterprises we want to set up a program of introduction to informatics by sending computers given with no profit motive in mind.
Although Cameroon has got abundant water during its rainy season, during the dry season people has got serious problems to obtain water.
Worldwide, 2.000 million people are dependant on firewood, needing to walk everyday miles and miles to collect a handful of wood. This people are mainly women and children. Sun powered kitchens are simple, yet technically advanced tools which concentrate sunlight heating a black pot. This way the consume of firewood is reduced, helping to fight deforestation and desertification. Usage of firewood can cause accidental burns, specially in children, and damages caused by the continuous inhalation of fumes from fires lighted up inside the houses. Nevertheless, a sun powered kitchen cannot be used at all times (during the night or rainy days it doesn’t work) and therefore it needs to be complemented with another simple technology not employed in Africa: economic kitchens. Very employed in our country on the last century, they burn wood in a much closed receptacle, and the energetic efficiency is very high, consuming half less firewood for the same use.
