Project Summary
As an Association of Cameroonian Youths, one of our founding goals is to support our motherland, by any means necessary to provide better living conditions for the kids, youths and seniors. As Cameroonian youths in the diaspora, we recognize the sufferings faced by our brothers and sister back home. Since late 2016 when the crisis first broke out, in the English part of Cameroon more than 2,400 persons have been killed and 670,000 displaced. This has left children have separated from their parents either by death or as a result of relocation. The number of orphans has increased in the North West and south west regions of Cameroon. Thats why we have decided this year to support a few orphanages in the English part of Cameroon by providing them with clothings, shoes, books, and some food incentives for the month of December. Helping at least an orphanage or two, may be small compared to the many orphanages present in these areas, but it is the start of a new dawn.
