Farmer Tantoh’s Ecovillage Project Reconnecting city dwellers to learn and live ecological lifestyles

We are a non profit organisation called Save Your Future Association ( SYFA) which is gradually transitioning to The Farmer Tantoh Foundation ( TFTF). We are a  community of 15 in Bamenda city of the Northwest Region of Cameroon. In 2015, we realised that thousands of city dwellers especially young people are no more conscious about ecological lifestyles and have been disconnected from nature due to influence of social media and western lifestyles. In order to bridge the gap and bring people to learn how we lived before, we started an ecovillage project with the primary goal to bring together city dwellers so they can be reconnected back to ecological lifestyles and nature. At the ecovillage, our goal is to train young people how to farm organically, grow flowers and vegetables, plant trees  and take care of animals.

Moreover , due to our cultural diversity across the country, we are also portraying the culture of the grass field by displaying arts and Craft ( farming tools, musical instruments and hunting tools etc) of the region and Cameroon as a whole. The ecovillage shall be a learning center for school children and adults in Bamenda city.

At the ecovillage, we are open to welcome eco tourists and international volunteers visiting the region there by sharing experiences and knowledge about ecological lifestyles.
