Youths Agriculture and Development (YAD) Cameroon

BACKGROUND

Youths Agriculture and Development (YAD) is a youth centered non-governmental organization operating in the North West Region of Cameroon with its head office in Ayaba Street Bamenda and one field office in Ndu Sub Division. In 2007 a group of dynamic young persons came to the conclusion that every human being is endowed with a gift that can contribute in one way or another to communit

y Development and the progress of human civilization. While health precedes wealth as inseparable units of the phases of human development, it should be realized that youths constitute a vast world of unexploited potentials needed for community development. Youths must put their forces together to sustain the resources of today for posterity. Our present economic, social and environmental problems such as unemployment, ignorance, poverty, illiteracy, the irrational use of natural resources prompted the decision to initiate a youth program on sustainable community development intended to combat the above problems. YAD therefore seeks to address these development issues which stipulate that every human being has an untapped ocean of potentials in him/her which only needs orientation to make life richer and fuller.
