Über uns

Muasumegoh Area Farmers Common Initiative Group (MUAFCIG) is a community development not for profit group that works for the interest of the community in the areas of sustainable agriculture, education, culture, water, hygiene and sanitation and community building. It’s target group is disadvantaged women and children.
MUAFCIG was created on the 12th of May 2012 by a group of dynamic young men and women with the goal of empowering the poor and the needy in Rural and Semi Urban communities in the Southwest Region of Cameroon, and Africa.

Our mission is to move towards a world where we all have equal opportunities in socio-economic development process.

MUAFCIG believes in teaching people on how to catch a fish not giving them the fish at all times.

Objectives of MUAF CIG
• To support community development projects in schools and communities.
• To empower disadvantaged women and children towards measures to fight unemployment, hunger and poverty
• Campaign education for all
• To supply rural and impoverished communities with access to renewable energy.
• To fight the spread of HIV/AIDS and other STDs in rural communities.

Projects:
• Maize farming project: Installing 5 maize transformation/grinding machines that will enable 5 rural women’s and youths groups of about 100 persons in Sand pit/Bokwaongo villages, to grow maize, transform fresh and dry maize to various edible food types such as “pap”, “corn fufu, corn beer” as well as the production of livestock feed. The projects goals by the end of the program are for women/youth groups to be able to own and operate grinding mills that will enable them to generate additional income to help solve the problem of poverty and locals inability to educate their children. By improving the farm sizes and yields, with better equipment, this should work towards eliminating poverty within these families. Through their supply of agroforestry, like acacia and lucanae, it will improve the current impact on climate change on the farming system mitigation. MUAFCIG will supply the women/youths with planting tools like machetes, hoes and wheel barrows. They will also be supplied agroforestry seeds (nitrogen fixing trees) to improve the soil fertility and fight the impact of climate change in food production on the existing farming system. This will curb food insecurity amongst poor women and youths by preventing post-harvest loss typically incurred by female/youths maize farmers in the beneficiary communities. This will build an entrepreneurial group of women/ youths who can generate extra income through maize farming and transformation. This will result in the improved living conditions of these families and fight hunger.
