FABE International Foundation
Education • Circular economy • Community action
Growing Africa’s eco-conscious generation.
We turn environmental learning into practical action—building the knowledge, skills and local systems for healthier communities and a more circular future.
Who we are
Environmental sustainability made practical.
Founded in 2008, FABE International Foundation is a not-for-profit environmental health and sustainability organisation. We equip young people and women with climate knowledge and circular-economy skills, then create opportunities to apply them in schools, markets and neighbourhoods.

Our work in action
