Our Journey: Empowering Communities, Focusing On Girls
In early 2023, NDES Institute of Technology was born from the NDES Foundation, founded by the resilient family of Ma NDE Elizabeth and Pa NDE Zachariah, in Buea, South West Cameroon. We’re on a mission to uplift underserved rural communities, emphasizing self-reliance and sustainability.
Operating mainly in the North West and South West regions, particularly Buea, where challenges are formidable, we’re addressing generational poverty, limited access to essentials, and barriers to education and healthcare.
Our dedication to education, healthcare, and infrastructure development, with a special focus on empowering girls, drives us to equip communities for a brighter, more secure future. Join us on this transformative journey.
