Preserving traditional know-how. Supporting Gabonese youth. Slowing rural exodus and valuing a life lived in contact with nature. Here is how Ebando acts, concretely, on the ground.
Our common thread
Ebando's projects are not one-off operations: they are roots planted in the daily life of the villages. Forge, pirogue, school, welcome of the Babongo, information caravan — each answers the same commitment, expressed in three directions that shape all of the association's work.
At the heart of Ebando
The Voices of the Survivors
Before the projects, a presence: a space of listening and speech for survivors of sexual violence, at the heart of the Ebando house.
Discover the space
Culture and craft
In Libreville and in rural areas
Traditional forge, fishing pirogue, raphia-weaving workshops, training on medicinal plants, dances and ceremonies, sharing through films and travelling performances.
Future
Supporting Gabon's youth
Schooling and professional reintegration, welcome and cultural stays, and intergenerational transmission of traditional know-how.
