Volunteer Time

TechCeFaCos was created and continues to be enhanced by people such as artists, professional teachers, computer experts and graduates with common ideas on Creativity, Arts & Technological Knowledge.

Since 2003, TechCeFaCos has aleady trained 556 children in Cameroon. Some of these efforts have come from the unselfish work of volunteers, both on the field, and also through online (virtual) work.But the work is not done yet. If your passion is to do grassroots volunteer work overseas and want to help the underprivileged youths, then TechCeFaCos Cameroon is the right place for you.

Cameroon is also known as "Africa in miniature" because of its geological and cultural diversity. It is rich in natural resoures which include rivers, streams, deserts, rainforests, mountains, waterfalls, and savannas. You can enjoy all of these while creating an impact to the lives of Cameroon children.

If you just want to stay within your immediate community, we also have several opportunities for you. Please see below some examples of various field volunteer activities that you can do in your own area as well as online volunteer efforts that you can contribute to.
