The team behind the project is as diverse as the City of UBUNTU. Volunteers from a wide range of disciplines and ethnic backgrounds work together to create a place of cultural exchange.

Our team in Cameroon
Stéphane Kenfack Lontsi
I am an engineer of energy technology and administrative secretary of ICALDE (Calasanz Institute of the Right to Education).

I want our city to generate the energy it needs itself from the natural resources it can produce.

It is an environment where dreams based on local realities are allowed.
Bernard Fotsing
