Who we are
Environmental education that becomes everyday practice.
Founded in 2008, FABE International Foundation works to build an eco-conscious generation. We equip young people and women with climate knowledge and circular economy skills, then create opportunities to put those skills to work in schools, markets and neighbourhoods.
Our work began in Nigeria and connects with partners and communities across Africa and beyond. We believe lasting change is learned, practised and shared.
