I am the Founder/CEO of a civil society organisation called Investing in people worldwide (IPW). IPW seeks to build resilient communities in which women and the youth participate in sustainable development activities towards the attainment of their full potentials in communities wherein their rights and dignities are respected. We have the following areas of interest: Climate Smart Agriculture, Education, Health, Vocational Training and Motivation and Welfare Humanitarian assistance and welfare.

This hub is located in Buea the south west region of Cameroon. Despite the prevailing crisis we have decided to keep the youth preoccupied with positive online summits like the Global Ecovillage summit. We are passionate about engaging young people in activities that build communities and strengthen their capacities while learning from best practices.

Primary interests: Social (Diversity & Cohesion, Leadership & Governance); Culture (Wisdom & Innovation, Vision & Purpose, Mindfulness & Self Reflection); Ecology (Zero Waste); Economy (Social Entrepreneurship, Planetary Boundaries)
