Healthcare
Medical facilities are on average 50km away from local communities, leading to high mortality rates,
especially amongst women and children.
Armed conflict further reduced access to healthcare
and caused large numbers of internally displaced
persons (IDPs), increasing the risk of Malaria.
Girls use dirty rags and leaves to manage menstruation, leading to health risks, school absenteeism, and social stigma.
Lack of access to clean water and sanitation
facilities increases the threat of waterborne diseases like cholera.
Our Objectives
Promote healthcare infrastructure development (construction, rehabilitation, equipping healthcare facilities) in rural and hard-to-reach communities to ensure that rural communities have safe, functional, and well-equipped health centers.
Strengthen reproductive, maternal, and child health services for women, adolescents, and children.
Enhance healthcare access in remote communities through mobile clinics, health promotion, and awareness campaigns on hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, preventive care, and disease prevention.
Promote Healthcare system strengthening, disease surveillance, including Mpox, cholera, and malaria, enhancing outbreak preparedness, and response.
Featured Projects
End Mpox Initiative
Location: North West Cameroon
Funded by Africa CDC, YouthHubAfrica, GIZ, and supported by the Ministry of Public Health (MINSANTE Cameroon), the project reduced the incidence and transmission of Mpox in the Njikwa Health District through community engagement and risk communication, case finding via mobile clinics, and strengthened community-based disease surveillance systems. It built the capacity of frontline healthcare workers and community leaders to detect, report, and respond to suspected Mpox cases and other health threats, ensuring faster and improved outbreak response.
School Mensuration Clinics
Location: 4 Schools in the North West Cameroon
Funded by CNEDA Cameroon and GlobalGiving, the project provided SRHR education to young girls and boys, addressed barriers to menstrual health by distributing reusable sanitary products, and contributed to improved dignity, confidence, and retention of girls in schools. It also provided training to menstrual hygiene ambassadors in local schools and communities, promoting positive practices and ensuring long-term behavioral change.
Hospital Lifeline
Location: North West Cameroon
The hospital lifeline project supports infectious disease such as HBV, HIV, HCV, Syphilis screening and education through mobile clinic, increasing early diagnosis and prevention in underserved and hard-to-reach populations. It also supports non-communicable disease (NCDs) screening and addresses the shortage of 2000 units of blood at the Bamenda regional hospital through increased blood donation activities and awareness, contributing to improved emergency care and maternal health outcomes.
