As part of the celebration of World Food Day on October 16, 2025, the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services (CBCHS), through its project “Building Resilience for Enhanced Access to Basic Services of Health, Education, and Social Inclusion in the Far North Region,” funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Christian Blind Mission (CBM), reaffirms its commitment to the fight against hunger and to the promotion of food self-sufficiency in the Far North region.

Within the framework of this project, CBCHS actively supports Inclusive Farming Groups by providing agricultural inputs, technical training, and ongoing accompaniment aimed at strengthening their production capacity. These initiatives directly contribute to improving food security, enhancing the resilience of vulnerable communities, and promoting the inclusion of persons with disabilities in local economic activities.

World Food Day, celebrated every year on October 16, is a call for global solidarity in the face of persistent challenges of hunger and malnutrition. It highlights the urgent need to transform our food systems to make them more sustainable, equitable, and accessible to all.

By aligning with this vision, the Building Resilience project demonstrates in concrete terms how local actions can generate global impact: strengthening agricultural production, encouraging community cooperation, and ensuring that every family has sufficient access to healthy and balanced food.

“Through this project, we have received seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, sprayers, tricycles, water pumps, and other agricultural inputs. This has truly strengthened our production capacity. Our GIC is very grateful to CBCHS and its partners,” said, Alaou Avalai, President of the GIC Akida of kousseri. Through these efforts, CBCHS, BMZ, and CBM show that sustainable food for all is not just an ideal, but a reality being built in the fields and villages of Cameroon.
