A fresh start for 100 people in Cameroon with sustainable farming

Families displaced by the Civil War in Cameroon have been hit hard by the global cost of living crisis. In the villages of Bulu and Bokwaongo, most families exist on less than $1 a week. Many have no source of income at all, meaning they can’t send their kids to school and they struggle to put food on the table.
Our newest partner, Jenga Jumuiya is working in this remote region on a sustainable agriculture programme which will help 100 women and young people find their feet. Alongside local charity CENCUDER (who are providing the welly-boots on the ground) they are helping establish short-cycled vegetable and poultry farming businesses.
Families who take part will be given the works: farming tools, pest-resistant seeds, and training to help them smash through the poverty barriers. The plan is not just to feed these folk but to have a surplus to sell, ultimately curbing food scarcity and a hike in prices in the local markets. A whole community getting a fresh start thanks to our amazing community.
Jenga Jumuiya, a non-profit organisation based in the United States, is dedicated to reshaping the futures of children globally through the transformative power of education. Committed to the belief that a solid education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, Jenga Jumuiya collaborates closely local communities to construct and renovate classrooms, sponsor education expenses, and implement sustainable development programs. By fostering self-reliance and resilience, they aim to empower not only individual learners but entire communities in even the most remote and underserved areas. Jenga Jumuiya invites others to join in building a world where education is a universal right, unlocking doors to endless possibilities for children around the globe.
