Empower 10,000 Victims of Violence in Cameroon.

Integrated Agricultural Association IAA, is spearheading efforts to fight malnutrition and hunger through sustainable agriculture. IAA trained 71 women and men on how to establish households gardens, given that with just around 600square meters a landless woman and a young person can have a garden that produces vegetables regularly within a 29-90 days cycle, to generate income and increase food security. IAA also distributed 2500 nitrogen fixing and trees of economic and medicinal value and 1000kgs of organic manure to participants to promote soil conservation and fight poverty. Young children were also engaged and received seedlings to plant with their parents so as to nurture love for nature and understanding of climate action and importance of trees on the environment and agriculture fields.

Integrated Agricultural Association IAA impacted diverse members of the community on good nutrition practices and diet control to reduce diet related diseases and malnutrition. With the message "Food is Medicine", IAA aims to promote public health and wellness through essential education on adequate nutrition and how to reduce food waste. 25 people, including women and men attended the workshop which was organized in Mbuluf village, Kumbo sub-division, Bui division in the Northwest region of Cameroon on the 15th of July 2024.

IMPACT:

IAA fights hunger & malnutrition by empowering communities through eco-friendly farming with donation through GlobalGiving and Support from other sources:

EMPOWERING FARMERS: they trained 71 women & men in eco-gardening (specifically within the home), disturbing 2,500 fruit trees & 1,000 kg of cow dung to replace chemical fertilizers & boost productivity.

HANDS-ON LEARNING: applying practical experience to build capacity in climate action, they taught youth & the community how to manage nurseries and select good seeds. Building trust & ownership between the community & the project, shifting power & resources into their hands! 

ENVIRONMENT EDUCATION: knowledge is power & with hands-on workshops on topics from deforestation to environmental stewardship, they are transforming young minds & communities into environmental heroes while bridging intergenerational learning 

TURNING WASTE INTO TREASURE: using locally available resources, they train smallholder farmers on how to produce organic fertilizer, reduce food waste, & adapt to climate change.

Funding is a challenge because IAA targets the pro-poor and funding cannot be raised by the participants and also, IAA has a non-profit status and cannot sell its services or any products to make profit that can be used to develop the project. Therefore, we must reach out to general public and international community for financial support to help us reach our objectives. We wellcome donation of any amount through GlobalGiving to keep going.

Thank you for being part of this incredible mission and for your continued support. With your donation, we will be able to empower our community, build resilient livelihoods and provide lasting solutions to hunger and malnutrition.

Thank You!
