Purpose of Doing Projects at EPDA
At the Environmental Protection and Development Association (EPDA), our projects are designed to address critical challenges faced by communities in Cameroon. The purpose of our initiatives is multi-faceted, focusing on sustainable development, environmental conservation, and community empowerment. Here are the key purposes behind our projects:
Promote Sustainable Development
By implementing initiatives in agriculture, water management, and community development, we help create resilient systems that support both people and the planet.
Enhance Food Security
Our agricultural projects focus on improving farming techniques, increasing crop yields, and promoting sustainable practices.
Empower Local Communities
Our projects involve training and capacity building, enabling community members to acquire skills and knowledge that enhance their resilience and self-sufficiency.
Improve Public Health
Our WASH projects aim to reduce the incidence of waterborne diseases and improve overall public health by providing sustainable solutions for clean water access and sanitation facilities.
