The Ndanifor community is a non profit common initiative initiated in 1996. The community’s youths apply modern organic methods combined with Cameroonian traditional values of respect of land.

Their activities include horticulture, market gardening, micro-financing and tool-making as well as the basics of small business. The five acres of wasteland indicated by BetterWorld Cameroon have been transformed into a garden, a sort of place of hope for the young unemployed who are also socially excluded. Specially attention is paid to women.

According to environmentalist and journalist Joshua Konkankoh, the national coordinator ‘the garden of Ndanifor has grown into a beautiful landscape setting for our informal learning program and also host cultural events where we celebrate our solidarity with stories, songs and dance’.

Moreover, he says, ‘we believe our actions in the Ndanifor community garden will create the foundation for community efforts to combat the environmental crisis and youth unemployment’.

Future efforts will target children willing to embrace the nature protection combat. A plan to suggest to primary school headmasters is being thought out.
