Ehancing food crop production-curbing post-harvet loss

Innovation: Traditional palace women in the North West Region The north-west region of Cameroon has one of the fastest-growing populations. Traditional palace women form part of the traditional institution of Fondoms (local chiefs) in the North-West region of Cameroon. Known popularly as Ma For?s, or Queen Mothers they incarnate the perpetuity of these institutions and determine the subsistence of their communities. Within the palace each Ma For is head of a household made up of herself, her children and other dependents. In one Fondom alone there can be as many as 70-100 wives - Queens of the traditional leaders known as Fons. Most traditional palace women rely on farming to sustain their households. Large household size, lack of skills in agricultural production, poor storage facilities and limited access to the markets do not only affect their harvest but account for poor health and nutrition of households and sometimes entire village communities. There is growing concern over the socio-economic empowerment of palace women ? but not much is being done about it. The IVLP Alumni in the North West region would like to take the lead and make a difference.

Reaching out and holding hands together to frame a humane world

Coming from the developing world, I have witnessed poverty, hunger, deprivation in and around me. When I have a meal and there is still some food left on the plate is when I tell myself this food is so precious and I do not have the courage to throw it in the waste bin but either eat it myself or feed the birds or a pet. People who do not have enough know the value of what we have in our lives and what we take for granted. I read somewhere that God has given enough to human beings, it?s just that the rich hoard more and the poor are denied and therefore this balance has occurred in the society. If we were to feel for the underserved is when gradually they too will have access to the basics to live a pleasant life. If we care for creating a humane world the privileged, the educated, the ones who care for the society have to take a step forward and stretch a hand of compassion and warmth towards our fellow beings who are waiting for that hand.
