Accomplishments

 

The first organization we supported was SAJOCAH (St. Joseph’s Children and Adult Home) based in Mambu-Bafut, Cameroon. The center caters mostly for disabled children and some adults from all parts of Cameroon and Africa. It contains an orphanage. People come from Nigeria, Zaire, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, etc, leave their children there and never come back. We plan to continue supporting the activities of this center because of its successes in changing disability into ability and its ability to handle disable cases from other parts of the world.

Other projects we have supported are electricity projects in Mankanikong, Njineweh- Agyati and a water project in Mambu, Bafut as well as supporting medication supplies to some rural health centers. We have also supported hurricane disaster relief in the U.S.A. such as Katrina and IKE
