Anglophone Crisis: No Limit International Empowers Internally Displaced Persons
In the midst of the Anglophone Crisis, No Limit International is bringing hope to Internally Displaced Persons across Cameroon.
As a result of the Anglophone Crisis, many people have lost their homes, food supplies, and ways of life. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) reported that between August and October of 2020, over 5,000 persons had been displaced from the Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon due to the ongoing socio-political crisis. In these same regions, 700,000 students lack access to education due to population displacements and closures of 4,253 schools.
These Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are found in all other parts of the country and trying to fit in these new societies. However, many of these IDPs live in deplorable conditions in urban towns. While some are jobless and can’t afford three meals a day, others don’t have a good place to stay.
No Limit International has been able to rescue some IDPs by providing them with over 1,000 square meters (m²) of farming land. This is intended to help them cultivate crops (such as maize and beans) to consume and make income.
In August 2020, the non-government organization (NGO) was in Mintotomo, a village in Centre region, Cameroon where the land is located. There, No Limit International handed over the plots to the displaced persons. The proceeds from these farms are expected to help them send their children to school and provide for their families. The gesture also provides another way to give them hope and prevent them from falling into desperate and dangerous activities in order to survive.
