Our History

by Leave a Comment

In 1998, a young man shabbily dressed and looking very dirty approached Mr. Genesis Tinshu, founder of HINT. He almost ran for fear that the young man was insane and was trying to attack  him. Then he noticed that the young man was showing him a piece of paper signed by a prominent law officer. According to the document, he had been released from prison. He was in need of financial assistance to re-unite with his family in a far distant city. Thank God, Mr. Genesis had some money on him that could buy some food and also help pay his way home. Genesis took him to a nearby bus station and saw him off.

Then Mr. Genesis began to wonder what would happen to him when he gets home. Would he be accepted? Would he adjust properly to life outside, after 7 years of imprisonment? How long would the little money he gave him last? Would he be able to live a sustainable life? Mr. Genesis hoped he could empower him to live a responsible life that will prevent future imprisonment.

Later that same year, Mr. Genesis went back to prison to visit and surprisingly he met the same young man and he was behind bars for a fresh crime. He ignored him when he called out to him the first time but felt deeply for him and wished he could help him.

Towards the middle of that same year, Mr. Genesis came to know two young ladies and both were students. They were being sexually exploited by married men in exchange for their education. Poverty had driven them this far. I felt for them and wished I could immediately help them out. If they could operate a self-reliant business, that will help to sustain them and free them from sexual molestation.

Helps International (HINT) Cameroon was then created in 2002 to improving on the social and economic well-being and health of the poor and underprivileged in the society through education, skills development and job creation.

Celebrate World Food Day this Thursday October 16 in a unique way.

Share a meal with your family, friends, co-workers or neighbours and remember the over 850 million people who know what it’s like to go to bed hungry every night around the world. Let your FOOD become FUNDS that will FEED a life!

As an organization, we have been actively involved in helping people come out of poverty in practical ways by building life skills and providing micro-loans for business start-up or expansion through funds we raise during our annual fund raiser – Food For Funds.

In 2007, Brian & Christe Dodds in Dallas/Fort Worth, USA decided to help and through their effort about $3000 was raised and this amount impacted the lives of about 30 women and over 210 people indirectly. Testimonies of last year’s recipients are here: http://fff.hintonline.org/07testimonies.htm. Join and help us meet our target of $10,000 this year to assist 80 families.

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one”. Mother Theresa

As you take your breakfast, lunch and dinner this Thursday October 16, please remember in any way you can, the over 5 million children a year who die of hunger.” That means 1 child dies every 5 seconds of hunger! (Source: FAO)
