What we do

Officially recognized under the name ‘MA FORÊT’ in December 2005, we are an NGO fighting against global deforestation, particularly in the Ivory Coast, Africa. In 2007, the NGO joined the ‘TERRE DES JEUNES’ network comprised of the following countries: Canada, Haiti, France, Togo, Benin, Cameroun, Niger, Burkina Faso, Burundi and Ivory Coast, and adopted the name of the network.
Our mission:

  • To protect human being and its environment against productivity and technology-driven society,
  • To promote the participation of citizens to define and defend their living environment through actions that help to raise awareness, encourage reforestation, and prevent further bushfires
  • To improve a better social organization and modification of individual behaviors in Ivory Coast as well as in Africa and other parts of the world

In 2015, Togo hosted the first summit inviting all the ‘TERRE DES JEUNES’ representatives around the world to improve and discuss our joint future, to coordinate the activities carried out in respective countries. The summit also served as an opportunity to celebrate 30 years of ‘TERRE DES JEUNES TRANSNATIONAL’.
‘Terre des Jeunes’ summit in 2020, an even bigger project awaits both the network’s members and attendees: the construction of an ecovillage. This will aim to demonstrate that it is possible to build, growth and live in a ‘model forest’ that are optimal for the environment.

Gaia Ashram Internship

The Pioneers of Gaia Ashram , 5th of July– 2nd of August 2015 The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes usi
