This project trains marginalised youth and women in regenerative agriculture while building the Wandusoa Ecological Learning Centre in Mbankomo. Designed with Journeyman International, this climate-resilient hub features eco-classrooms, processing facilities, and secure residential dorms built from local materials. By blending hands-on agroforestry with physical infrastructure, we are anchoring a permanent space to restore topsoil and create green jobs.
In Cameroon, 75% of arable land is degraded, leaving marginalised youth and women on the front lines of food insecurity. While demand for regenerative agriculture training is high, a critical lack of climate-resilient infrastructure persists. Without a permanent facility for residential training, community workshops, and processing equipment, vulnerable rural youth cannot access the long-term educational resources required to restore soil and build green livelihoods.
Partnering with Journeyman International, this project will build a low-carbon Ecological Learning Centre in Mbankomo and run intensive youth training. Built from local materials, the campus will feature passive-cooling classrooms, residential dorms, and organic processing rooms. This living laboratory merges physical infrastructure with hands-on agroforestry, enabling youth to master soil restoration while marketing eco-friendly products.
Grounded in a phased, zero-carbon $2.5\text{-meter}$ structural grid design, the campus scales our training capacity from 20 youth to entire regional cohorts. Phase 1 provides the processing facilities and community kitchens needed to anchor a self-sustaining cooperative economy. Phase 2 introduces gender-separated residential dorms, giving marginalised women from remote areas a safe environment to learn. Over time, this infrastructure will permanently seed a decentralised regional network of sk
