Restoring soil and livelihoods in Cameroon through youth-led regenerative farming scholarships

This is a proposal to fund a nine-month pilot project in Ngoumou and Bankomo, Cameroon , supporting 20 marginalised youths (70% of them girls), including internally displaced persons—to train in regenerative agriculture and business skills.

Specifically this proposal will fund the scholarships of 5 internally displaced girls to complete the programmes 2025/26 cohort.

Through classroom lessons, hands-on farming, mentorship, and startup support, scholars will launch their own agro-enterprises while restoring 10 hectares of degraded land and improving food security for 5,000+ households.
