Help young lives learn how to farm in Africa

In the conflict-ridden village of Zang-Tabi, located in the North West region of Cameroon, where NASLA Founder was born and grew up. More than 100 teenagers are bearing the brunt of instability, facing challenges ranging from disrupted education, malnutrition to psychological trauma with little or no external support. 
Our mission remains to create an enabling and supportive environment for sustainable development of youth and the community. During the 1st quarter of this year 2024, we lunch an extension of the ROOT BIZ program to support teenage girls and boys who are facing difficulties in the midst of a war crises. This extension program  aims to empower teenage girls and boys in the village enduring a war crisis by leveraging the principles of permaculture and education. By fostering sustainable agriculture practices, support and providing educational opportunities, we seek to equip these youths with resilience and hope amidst adversity.
The targeted area is a remote community plagued by a conflict that is already 6years now, where access to basic necessities such as food, education, and healthcare is severely limited. Teenagers in this area face immense hardship, with many experiencing displacement, loss of family members, and exposure to violence. Traditional humanitarian aid efforts have not been able to reach this area due to the insecurity. Thereby living these children and families in high frustration

 A Story of Hope from the Heart of Conflict.

NASLA Founder spend a month in the village with these teenagers and had some experiences to share.
In the heart of the conflict, amidst the turmoil of war, these teenagers' hope  refuses to wither. Their spirits unbowed by adversity, have become the architects of their destiny.
Through different agricultural practices these teenagers continue to strive for a living. They are involved in the production of palm oil, selling of brooms, bamboo made chairs, and many other for a living and to support their basic needs.
Through our extension program we supportted five (5) teenage girls with school fees and basic writing materials in a community school that was lunched as a personal funded initiative by NASLA founder and some partners in the village as a way to promote education for these suffering youths.

We are Appologize that
we can't provide images of these youths in their school due to low phone batteries. But hope to share it in the future when next we visit the school. But in this report you will find images of some of the teenagers involved in the processing of palm oil.

NASLA Africa continue to thank and count on the support of our donors and sponsors as we work together to pave the way for improved livelihoods.
