What we do

ACUDAB Eco-Village was formed in 2017 just after the crisis started. Our Mission
To empower internally displaced persons through comprehensive programs in education, healthcare, economic development, and sustainable livelihoods, while preserving cultural identity and promoting peace-building initiatives.
A place for identifying, nurturing, and equipping Africa’s future leaders with experiences, insights, and tools of partnerships so that African-led solutions are developed as a response to the global crisis.
In early 2016 the Anglophone crisis started and waves of displaced women and children started arriving neiboring communities in the West, Adamawa, littoral and center regions. They have gone through near-death experiences, survived in the forest for weeks or months and lost their property when they had to abandon their villages. As they arrive in the towns, they do not have any means of subsistence and survive by begging. We provide a chance to regain what was lost. 14% of our participants are currently inside host communities in the West Region of Cameroon.
Displacement in the West Region of Cameroon entails putting additional strain on already poor hosting communities and the rise of vulnerability within the IDP population. Our challenge is how to define and implement longer-term support for the displaced in a context of evolving security (climate challenges) and humanitarian needs Food and how to achieve viable and sustainable re-integration processes for those IDPs who are un- able to go back home.
ACUDAB Eco-Village, a comprehensive resettlement for IDPs. This eco-village will strengthen participatory governance of natural resources, bring forth sustainable development, and ensure equal distribution of wealth within the community.

Proyecto de Vida Despierta

¿Quiénes somos?, ¿porqué estamos aquí?, ¿a dónde vamos? Estas preguntas nos las hacemos con creciente intensidad porque son importantes para enfocar y dar calidad a nuestras vidas. Los cofundadores de Proyecto de Vida Despierta, Peter y Cynthia Bampton, nos harán una presentación dinámica de la renovadora visión espiritual basada en la idea del despertar evolutivo, en la que se integran la libertad de la contemplación mística en su sentido tradicional, la inmensidad de un cosmos en evolución y, lo que es más importante, la enorme responsabilidad que cada uno de nosotros tenemos en la creación de un futuro nuevo y mejor. En este taller se alternarán los tiempos de presentación, diálogo y meditación. Proyecto de Vida Despierta es una asociación sin ánimo de lucro que está situada en una reserva ecológica bella y salvaje de la Serra do Acor, en Portugal. Se trata de una comunidad ecológica y sostenible, cuyo objetivo es promover la evolución y transformación de la consciencia y de la cultura, en congruencia con el tejido ecológico de la vida. Transformación implica cambio, de manera que si estás interesado en cambiar aspectos de ti mismo/a, de tus relaciones, de tu calidad de vida y del futuro de nuestro planeta, este taller puede ser un catalizador para un cambio profundo en tu conciencia, en conjunción con el respeto y armonía con el medio ambiente. Los facilitadores, Peter y Cynthia Bampton compartirán su entusiasmo por la visión espiritual contemporánea del despertar evolutivo, así como su pasión por cambiar el mundo desde dentro. Entre ambos tienen más de 50 años de experiencia en los campos de la transformación individual y colectiva, habiendo vivido en diversas comunidades.

Fall part time Permaculture Design Course

Dates: 9 weekends (16 days) from Sept 8th -Dec 9, 2018 What better way to wind down the growing season than to embark on a permaculture design course? During this 100 hour course students learn to read the landscape, analyse problems, and design ecological solutions for the home, garden, or city. The Permaculture Design Certificate is a participatory and dynamic learning experience; classes include in-depth permaculture theory, design methodology, exercises, and group projects. They also include a whole lot of deep questioning, laughter, and growth! The curriculum we follow at P3 was developed by the late Bill Mollison in Australia in the 1970’s, and is today regarded as the standard in permaculture education, recognized and respected worldwide. At P3, our facilitators emphasize that permaculture goes beyond gardening and agriculture. With permaculture we can design solutions for: food deserts, the heat-island effect, and mis-managed waste systems. With edible landscaping and ecological architecture, we can increase the efficiency of our homes, our farms, and our communities. The solutions-based vision of permaculture practice is holistic and regenerative. P3 Permaculture alum have used their PDC to start projects and businesses in permaculture consultation, education, ecological agriculture, regenerative community organizing, urban farming, composting, and much more. The PDC program helps students to closely observe the natural principles and patterns that drive ecological systems. Understanding nature and our place within it is the first step towards healing broken systems. We hope that you can join us!
