ONG 350 Côte d'Ivoire is an environmental organization based in Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa) that fights against fossil fuels and climate change through education and advocacy, based on a systemic approach including: non violente action principle, scientific approach, climate action while making sur no one will be left behind. The organization focuses on environmental education, training, raising awareness about sea level rise, waste management solutions, circular economy (coffee waste and plastic circularity), sustainable growth, plastic recycling, and promoting renewable energy and solar panel projects.
Project story
In Côte d'Ivoire's bustling cities and coastal communities, plastic chokes drainage systems and pollutes beaches, while discarded coffee waste fuels greenhouse gas emissions. Yet our organization saw something others missed: opportunity hidden within the crisis.
We recognized that young people—often excluded from environmental decisions and economic opportunities—held the key to transformation. So we built a movement that turns waste into value and communities into environmental leaders.
Our approach is beautifully simple: we partner with local youth, women, recyclers, artists, and cafés to recover plastic and coffee waste, transforming them into reusable and biomass-based products. Simultaneously, we organize cleanup campaigns, run awareness activities, and deliver environmental education that resonates with real communities.
What sets us apart is our unwavering belief in local ownership. We don't impose solutions from above; we co-create them with the people most affected by pollution. By connecting environmental protection to livelihoods, creativity, and civic pride, we're building something sustainable—a circular economy where waste becomes resource, where youth become changemakers, and where no community is left behind.
