Special Advisor

Future for Africa is sad to announce that Kathy Johnson is resigning from her duties as a trustee for Future for Africa, as she is leaving the UK to take up a post in Southern Sudan.

We would like to thank Kathy for all the hard work and enthusiasm she has contributed to the charity during her time as a trustee and we wish her all the best for the future.

Kathy will continue to share her expertise with Future for Africa through her appointment as a Special Advisor to the charity.

Food Shortages

I was concerned to read that thousands of people in Cameroon's Far North province are suffering food shortages caused by grazing elephants trampling through their villages and destroying crops.

 

The elephants were forced to leave their usual grazing area in the Waza Park due to flooding, following the rainy season.  They therefore headed south in search of new grazing pastures and destroyed hundreds of hectares of farmland in the process.

 

Elephants have caused damage to crops in the province in the past but this year's destruction has been particularly severe.
