SYFA has been working for several years and been very successful in developing innovative projects using local people and local resources. Here are some of our past and ongoing projects.

 

Bambili Baptist Church Environmental Project

The project at Bambili Baptist marks a successful beginning to SYFA’s volunteer projects. It was initiated in 2003 while Farmer Tantoh was studying agriculture at the Regional college of Agriculture in Bambili, Cameroon.

Binju Baptist Church Environmental project

Farmer Tantoh started the Binju Baptist Church project after he completed high school in 2001. The church was very bushy, inhabited by harmful animals, and filled with broken bottles and litter. By starting the garden, SYFA hoped to increase the congregation’s respect for the environment by providing them the opportunity to take part in caring for the beautification of their church.

 

Organic Landscaping Project

YFA runs a multitude of voluntary organic lawn care and flower gardening services throughout Nkambe and other neighbouring villages. The lawns are propagated through a system where SYFA volunteers plant organic lawns for community members on the condition that they will donate their grass seedlings for future volunteer projects.
