Healthy Diets for Healthy Communities in Cameroon

Our nutrition program continues to be one of our main initiatives and it is largely due to the support and generosity of our partners. We could not do this work without you.

Over the last year, we have been working with a Common Interest Group from the village of Bomaka, right outside of Buea. This is a wonderful group that has persevered through many challenges; moreover, this group has embraced each aspect of the nutrition program and has seen the benefits in their agricultural harvests, diets, and family nutrition. 

In January, the group from Bomaka welcomed us to take part in a cooking demonstration in their village. Also, two of our international volunteers who had helped us develop the nutrition program five years ago were also able to join us for this event. It was a great day of sharing, interacting, and learning. It was incredible to see this group demonstrating all that they had learned through the nutrition program and then teaching us how they were preparing new food dishes and explaining how their nutrition and health has improved as a result.

This is why we do this work and why it is so valuable. A small amount of education, training, and support combined with the strong spirit of collaboration and initiative amongst community groups can have a transforming impact on people's lives. We are excited to share many more stories like this with you. It is a privilege to be a small part of working with communities to shape and determine their nutritional well-being.

Thank you again for your support, partnership, and incredible generosity.
