About 20 years ago, CAT came into contact with Prof Norbert Pintsch / DGFK by chance and this gave rise to new possibilities, which in the meantime have led to the installation of photo-voltaic units in the field of adapted technology. Another area was the establishment of the Kids Club as well as the cooperation with the doll project of Dr Senta Siller, which is successfully continued now by Madam Theresa.

Some four trainees in Bamenda undertook a training to teach children arts and craft that promote environmental protection as used materials are being recycled and put in to use. This laudable initiative by a German Trainer, Renate PERNER from the Senior Expert Service (SES) Bonn, under the supervision of Prof PINTSCH of the Society for the Promotion of Appropriate Technology and Housing (SPATH) as coordinated at the Center for Appropriate Technology (CAT) is coming at a time that the government of Cameroon has ban the use of non biodegradable plastics.

The main goal of this training is to foster sensitization on environmental protection and appropriate technology to as important solutions in local communities. The practice can go a long way to reverse the rapidity with which the climate change is affecting the biodiversity.

Lately the Center took it’s know how to the Akwaya community where lighting had been a long time cry of the people for centuries. This area was one of Cameroon’s landlocked villages in the South West region without a passable road. The lack of communication with the outside world either with a cell of fixed phone compounded its woes. Equipment in gov.t offices were still manualy run. Schools and colleges only dreamed on science and ICT studies. All this resulted to low levels of live. Poverty was taking it tall on the community.
