Madiba & Nature
Cameroon is particularly threatened by climate change. With the growth of population and increasing urbanization, the harmful effects of plastic pollution make life almost impossible for millions of people, while threatened marine life and destroying fisheries. Madiba&Nature was founded to help preserve the livelihoods of fishermen whilst also addressing the issue of marine plastic pollution.

Plastic is collected through beach cleanup activities and used to create Ecoboats for fishermen. Our strategy is about expanding using Ecobins by installing the first innovative system of waste management on beaches and cities to limit pollution and promote green businesses. With around 150 Ecobins, up to 6 tons of plastic waste is collected each month allowing building 50 Ecoboats used by 150 fishermen and ecotourists in Londji. To date ecotourism created 15 jobs within the Londji community. 15 youth are trained every year in our entrepreneurship in the green Business mentoring program.
