Projects
Leni-Keller-Workshop - Uyo/Nigeria
We have moved our "Leni Keller Workshop" from Mbiatok, a village near Uyo, to the city of Uyo and continue the work started in Mbiatok in the new "Leni Keller Skill Acquisition Center". At the old location in Mbiatok, our former partner organization there is now running its own project. A large part of the people in our target group (refugees from Cameroon) live in Uyo. The move has enabled us to save travel costs in the future and to use the infrastructure of a larger city. Refugees and some participants from the local community can acquire knowledge and skills with us that will enable them to earn money. Currently we offer courses in sewing, making accessories as well as wigs.
Leni-Keller-Workshop - Oron/Nigeria
In the city of Oron, which is also home to many refugees from Cameroon, we have opened our second "Leni Keller Skill Acquisition Center". For this purpose, a large apartment was rented there, the rooms of which are being used as workshops and classrooms. As in Uyo, the “Max Kuma Community Development Foundation”, the partner organization we founded in Nigeria under Nigerian law, acts as the local executing agency for the implementation of the project.
Let’s feed ourselves - Adagom/Nigeria
In the refugee camp Adagom we are implementing a project "Let's feed ourselves" with a local refugee cooperative "GROFLINE" as our partner organization. In the camp, small areas of land are available to the refugee families behind the houses they live in, on which they are allowed to carry out agricultural activities. In addition, some land has been leased. The participants receive equipment, seeds/seedlings and animals in the course of the project. They will learn how to grow crops, raise fish (a pond is available and there is already fish farming in the camp), raise pigs, and raise snails. They are also taught how to build a composting toilet and how to build a solar dryer for drying food. Refugees who are interested in agriculture will thus learn to meet part of their food needs themselves.
Hopeful Teen World -Buea/Kamerun
We support our Cameroonian partner organization "TeenAlive" in the implementation of their project "Hopeful Teen World" through financial donations. This project supports teenagers, especially internally displaced persons, in Buea/Cameroon.
