Wandusoa Organic Cameroon is a youth-led hub transforming displacement into environmental leadership. We serve as the central coordinator for the African Permaculturist Node, a CoFundEco network spanning Cameroon, Uganda, Congo, Kenya, and Ghana. Our "Soil to Software" framework tackles soil degradation and unemployment in conflict zones by merging regenerative permaculture with digital entrepreneurship. The People & Mission: Leadership: Founded by Mafah Cornelius (UNCCD Observer) and Mme Efimba Helen (Director), we provide the strategic and academic anchor for regional scaling. The Architects: A cohort of displaced scholars leading field operations and digital financial tracking. As a financial and educational anchor, Wandusoa facilitates the distribution of regenerative funds across our five-nation node. By equipping "Architects of the Soil" with technical support and capital, we move marginalised communities from survival to stewardship, creating a permanent, tech-enable

Project story

The Vision: Radical Collaboration Across Borders. This project is a collective fundraising effort for the African Permaculturist Node, a network of five regenerative sites in Cameroon, Uganda, Congo, Kenya, and Ghana. Instead of competing for resources, we are co-funding a regional movement. Wandusoa Organic Cameroon serves as the coordinating hub to receive and distribute these funds, ensuring each member has the capital to scale their local ecological impact.

The "Soil to Software" Multiplier: All members of the Node utilise the "Soil to Software" framework—combining ancestral land restoration with digital business management. By funding this collective, you are supporting:

  1. Cameroon (Wandusoa): Completion of the solar-powered Digital Lab at the Simbock Learning Centre to serve as the regional data and logistics hub.

  2. Uganda (PEACE Foundation): Scaling mushroom permaculture and energy-efficient cookstove production in the Bundibugyo district to mitigate deforestation.

  3. Kenya: Implementing water-harvesting systems and agroforestry nurseries for smallholder farmer cooperatives.

  4. Congo: Launching regenerative training hubs for displaced youth in conflict-sensitive zones to restore topsoil and food security.

  5. Ghana: Establishing community seed banks and organic market linkages for youth-led agri-ventures.

Fundraising Goals & Distribution: Our immediate goal is to secure $12,500 to kickstart this regional phase.

  • Equitable Distribution: Every member site in the Node is expecting a minimum of $2,500 in seed funding.

  • Impact: These funds will be used for essential tools, solar infrastructure, and high-quality seeds to transition 100+ combined acres of land into regenerative systems.

  • Accountability: Wandusoa, as a UNCCD Observer, provides the financial oversight and digital tracking to verify that every dollar translates into measurable soil restoration and youth employment across all five countries.

Why Support the Node? By donating to this project, you are moving beyond "single-farm charity." You are investing in a systemic regional fund that empowers African leaders to share knowledge, resources, and climate solutions in real-time.
