According to the UN, Poverty entails more than the lack of income and productive resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion, as well as the lack of participation in decision-making. As such, Ending poverty in all its forms is the first of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

According to the World Food Programme, 135 million people suffer from acute hunger and the COVID-19 pandemic could now double that number, putting an additional 130 million people at risk of suffering acute hunger by the end of 2022. With more than a quarter of a billion people potentially at the brink of starvation,swift action needs to be taken to provide food and humanitarian relief to the most at-risk regions.

NO LIMIT INTERNATIONAL has taken steps in the community to address Goal 1- End Poverty and Goal 2 – Fight Hunger, by providing land-to-farm opportunities to vulnerable population in Cameroon. The fact that people don’t earn income shouldn’t prevent them from seeking food security for their families in various ways. Under the leadership of Orlyanka TANTCHOU, Co-Founder of NO LIMIT INTERNATIONAL, the program “Food For All At All Cost” was launched 3 years ago to end hunger by promoting sustainable agriculture through land access to families in need”.

 

“Our goal is to achieve food security and promote sustainable agriculture as a mean to end poverty and hunger. Let’s face it, food is grown and the best way to help the needy is to provide access to land so that they can grow their own food. We provide land-to-farm opportunities free of charge to vulnerable population so that they can not only feed their families through farming but also sell the rest of the crop production in order to send their children to school and live decent lives” – Orlyanka TANTCHOU

So far, the program has helped feed hundreds of families and provide for extra income to take care of the households basic necessities. “I can’t thank NO LIMIT INTERNATIONAL enough for the opportunity that they’ve given me to feed my family. I’ve been working here for 2 years and farming crops such as corn, yam, potatoes to take care of my family. Thank you” Nicoline BERI, farmer “3 years ago, when I came to Yaoundé from Bamenda, I did not know what to do and where to find the money to feed my family since we abandoned everything in our village due to the war. NO LIMIT INTERNATIONAL was the calling from GOD and I am grateful to them for giving me this land to farm opportunity for free. I can’t thank them enough”. Roland KINTARI, farmer “The space that they’ve given me is plenty enough to farm and feed my family but also to sell some of the corn to pay for school supplies for my children. Thank you, NO LIMIT INTERNATIONAL”. Esther BANTA, farmer
