This pilot aims to establish partnerships with churches in the United States for two main projects: crafts marketing, and organic farming that also considers animal welfare. Relief support is also possible if a church is interested in such program. The members of EA Cameroon, acting on behalf of a local NGO, should be offering this opportunity to churches via phone.

EA Cameroon is piloting a program that aims to connect faith-based groups from advanced economies to local groups in poor regions for the purpose of running cost-effective projects.
The pilot takes place in the West and Northwest Regions of Cameroon, with a high percentage of internally displaced persons and an ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Some of the proposed projects include:
Feeding the hungry
Encouraging preventive healthcare
Facilitating curative healthcare
Promoting organic farming through workshops
Growing the local crafts scene
The cost-effectiveness has not been predicted, however, can be high considering that the two groups would discuss local priorities and brainstorm their cost-effective solutions.
In addition to connections to faith-based groups in advanced economies, we are seeking impact evaluation volunteers and interpreters (from English to the language spoken by the faith-based group).
If you are interested in participating in this project, please apply via this form.
We appreciate any feedback, via comments or at ea.cam@yahoo.com.
