JRFIJRCC Zone 1 META Project 32 plus. Community Bottom-Up Mobilization Update and Strategic Volunteer Engagement Report

On April 25, 2025, a landmark grassroots meeting was held at the JRFI/JRCCA World Headquarters American Corner in Kwojeoh Tuseh, Meta, Cameroon.

This gathering, which included quarter heads, elders, women leaders, and youths from Zone 1, is part of the strategic rollout of META Project 32.

Their strong presence and active participation signal a renewed grassroots commitment to the vision of building an empowered, self-sustaining Indigenous community, supported by strategic partnerships with American stakeholders and the U.S. Department of State.

You too can support them by reaching out to their community base organization headed by Ma Stella International President of JRCCA NGO with its World HQ based in Kwojeoh ZangTabi Taah Zone 1 in Meta Cameroon.

We seek urgent support and collaboration from stakeholders, leaders, volunteers, teachers, trainers, medical doctors, nurses, researchers, food security experts, and investors. Your expertise and compassion are vital to the success of our mission.

To ensure accountability and direction, we have initiated a comprehensive Needs Assessment, including a SWOT analysis and SMART goals. Immediate goals include launching prayer and training sessions by June 2025, distributing Melaleuca vitamins , etc..and books within 60 days, and initiating pilot education programs by August 2025.

We respectfully request the U.S. Department of State to connect us with essential resources and technical partners to activate Phase1.

Together, we rise.

Greetings Donors and Sponsors;

As we close the year 2024, which was a very good year for our organization and our volunteers that we serve despite the fact that in September, 2024 we lossed our Co-Founders who is in heaven watching over us as we go about our daily duties to bring joy to the many families in the English speaking villages of the NW Region in Zang Tabi, Cameroon, Africa. In 2025 we are looking forward to continue successful implementation of the projects that were started in 2024 such as the community garden which provided opportunities for several of our youths to work with older females to learn garden skills in which some of the products will be sold at market and others will be food on our tables....We are continuing to look for funds from local businessees and international organization to full- filll the completion of the Pa John Vocation and Tech Project at the Training Center in Zang Tabi, TAAH, META, Zones 1,2, 3, 4,5 Cameroon, Africa.

Our newly appointed Women Empowerment Leader accepted the leadership position and were off and running never looking back but only encouring our membership to Set SMart Goals and Action Steps to achieve organizational and personal goals. She is well known in the Vocational Teach and Gardening areas as she has won several awards and was invited to the USA to attend an event at the White House os a guest of President Trump during his first administration. We are fortunate that we have been able to retain the Assistant Governor for more than nine African nations to serve as our Ambassador to the United Nations and provide technical assistant to help us develop international grants that will not only benefit our projects but projects in other African Nations..

Our Women Empowerment Chairperson is from Ghana : Check out her review for the 2024. It has been a great honor for being a part of JRCCA through Honorable Injoh of Cameroon and I haven't regretted being a part of JRCCA NGO, learning from them and they also learning from me. Also in the activities of peace building, farming, processing, aggregation and access to fertile land, engaging the stakeholders in terms of information to the citizens in their various communities and engaging our traditional rulers for access to fertile land for our women for farming. We also work with the youth, the less privileged by getting scholarships for them in terms of education.

The vocational school is based on skills training and offers some courses such as hospitality management, Fashion and design, Textile handweaving,building and construction. By all these empowerment I think our society and Africa will be a better place.

As leaders we are up to the task to deliver to our various communities as a whole. JRCCA is a great family, I'm thankful to Chairman Nii Giddy and his family in terms of coordinating meetings and stipends, a great thanks also goes to Chairman Phillip of Liberia, for always educating the members in terms of smart goals and the president Mr Sylvester I say thank you, thank you to zone 4 director and to all members. God bless us all 2025 will be an action year. This is my report from GLWE Ghana .

We will be handing out boxes of Wellness Product from one of our sponsors in the Wellness field. This company have over 500 products that they market internationally. These products will provide health care from birth to death, especially for those individuals who can not afford even the minimum health care products. This project will cost about $100 per box to the organization. Our friendly sponsor will provide us with a discount for up to 40 per cent and seven per cent on the monthly volume that we can use to repair the Guest House and/or support proposal that are supported by major funders. You can join the organization and donate your monthly requirement to support the Wellness donation to help the indigous people. W are a bottoms up organization. Thanks for past donations and we look forward to your end of the year sponsorship. Nothing is too large or small. Happy New Years.

Greetings To Our Donors and Supporters;

Breaking News; Breaking News; Breaking News; "NEW ORGANIC FARM" The three phrases for the planting of the JRCCA's Organic Farm at Benguela has been completed within due time for the planting season thanks to the outstanding supervision management and coordination by Women Empowerment ICT Assistant Directors for girls ages 17 to 36 that will allow them a choice in their life style in the NW Region.

Our President expressed gratitude and appreciation for the leadership, dedication and hard work that was displayed by all of the contracts and volunteers who despite many challenges including the weather and condition of the soil was able to get the job done. This project will put a smile on many faces and some economical cash in their pockets. Will you help us grow this organic farm?

According to the Women Empowerment Team some of the products will be shared under our food security program with IDPs and Women Empowerment volunteers and some will be sold at the market to raise funds to help defray the cost of this and other humanitarian projects by JRCCA under our Vocational Skills and Training Program On the Job Training which will give them a choice of their future life style in the English speaking NW Region in Cameroon.

Our Chairman expresses his concerns and sees this peace building project as a way to build bridges for the Women Empowerment movement and IDPs so that they will be able to return to their homes and homeland as a results of the crisis. We hope to work with other international groups to collaborate and offer resources that will help our girls and women ages 17 to 34 to become independent. All donations big or small will benefit our cause.Kudos to our Honorable Ambassador who supported this project with her donations, wisdom and guidance for our JRCCA Women Empowerment Team.

Our JRCCA President reported that the meeting with the Bee Farmers was successful and that they will be meeting again in 30 days. Bee Farmers have requested the use of JRCCA's land on the site of the Foundation Stone to expand the development of Bee Farming as performed by our founder the late Pa John. MOU is in progress to make this request happen between the Bee Farmers and JRCCA at the Guest House and Vocational Tech Training Center in Zang-Tabi, Cameroon, Africa.

Our President also shared the request by the President for her organization to develop a MOU with JRCCA to share land for use by her organization called the Promise Land NGO to cultivate the December food crops. Our Board Chairman suggested to the President that she should write SMART GOALS and ACTION STEPS for this request and present to our VP who is in chage for formatting proposals prior to submitting her request on Tuesday SNT for discussion and motion to be approved on Wednesday Biz Meeting. Chairman also recommended that she find a lawyer in Bamenda or Yaounde to assist her with drawing up the MOU Agreement between JRCCA and the Promise Land Organization.

Chairman and Presidents of JRCCA and President of JFRIUSA reminds everyone to stay focused and stay on task and to uphold and follow all JRCCA's policies and procedures. Ensure to set weekly, monthly SMART GOALS and ACTION STEPS, attend all meetings, complete activity log and end of the month report. Posting pictures and videos are accepted ways to demonstrate weekly and monthly progress reporting of what you are doing to support the humanitarian goals and objectives of JRCCA. We can and will achieve more progress for our women and girls in Cameroon, Africa with affiliates in Ghana and Liberia.

Kudos to our International VP and Women Empoweerment leader ffrom Accura, Ghana for the outstanding work that she is doing with her Women Empowerment Group in Ghana which is now an affiliate of JRCCA in Cameroon, Africa. She is providing her Women Groups with Vocational Tech Training in the areas of cooking and farming. We are looking forward to our VP for Women Empowerment in Ghana to extend her program to Cameroon and Liberia. Never Give Up - Onward, Upward and Forward-2024-25. Developing these programs in Africa requires funding. It would be appreciated if you our donors and supporters will respond to this report by sending a donation to help us defray the administrative cost of providing services for these young individuals. No amount is too large or too small. We are grateful for any support that you can give to us to help us carry out our humanitarian mission to provide a choice for women and girls 17 to 36.

Kind Regards,

Women Empowerment Team Members
