As we quickly approach summer, we are continuing to work hard amidst a period of much activity and many exciting initiatives focused on improving the lives of individuals and communities throughout the rural Southwest of Cameroon.

First, we are happy to report that the Cassava Processing Project for Ote Community is well under way with the machinery produced and delivered, the timber cut and transported, and the site for the center cleared and ready for the construction of the processing facility. We are hoping to have the processing center finished and producing a marketable product in the next couple of months. Second, we are continuing to fundraise for our nutrition program focused on empowering locals throughout the rural villages around Buea and in the Akwaya subdivision to meet the nutritional needs of their families and communities. Through education, training and the distribution of seeds, this project holds the potential to dramatically improve the nutritional well being of many communities. We are raising support for this project in partnership with Global Giving, and we are encouraged to see that we are more than halfway towards achieving our fundraising goal. Finally, we are busy with our malaria prevention and sensitization work focused on empowering communities in Akwaya with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively reduce the impacts of malaria in their villages.

Please continue to check in for updates from the field and on the progress of projects currently underway. Also, please visit our project page on Global Giving’s webpage to support our fundraising efforts and help to promote healthier communities in Cameroon.
