What we do

Provide portable drinking water for women and children in Bali Gashu subdivision.

Deforestation, farming with the use of chemicals, grazing, bush fires, planting of unfriendly trees such as eucalyptus around catchments (structure in which water is collected)  and the laying out of fields on slopes are some of the activities that lead to soil erosion, pollution, siltation, and drying up of water catchments in Bali Gashu.

Women and children –  especially the girls,  trek long distances to fetch water; this esposes them to rape, school drop out, and malnutrition, because time is spent in search of water instead of cultivating food.

The lone catchment, if harnessed, will be able to solve this problem.

CAEPA Cameroon is presently protecting this catchment, and the next phase will be to harness the water and distribute it to the community.

Volunteering

CAEPA CAMEROON wishes to welcome volunteers from any country, with no barriers to age, sex or colour, who can help in rural development, either by starting new projects or through the continuation of existing projects: (Environmental Education Project for schools and communities, water catchment protection projects, HIV/AIDS sensitization in school health clubs, community groups etc, the orphan project, agro forestry/reforestation projects) for the well-being of communities.

Volunteer opportunities are free of charge. Those interested can apply to volunteer with CAEPA CAMEROON: www.caepacameroon.org.

Orphan and vulnerable children support

In order to establish a sustainable way of support for all of the children, CAEPA Cameroon is looking for personal sponsors who are able to support the orphans and those who are destitute.

Sponsoring a child will not only make a change in the life of the child, but the entire community will be safe. It is an exciting journey of cultural exchange and creating a personal relationship.

Startup Capital for Women Living with HIV/AIDS

CAEPA Cameroon is working to find startup capital for the Hands Together support group in Widikum, and also the Bando support group in Batibo.

These support group members, in 2011, participated in a business and leadership training with the objective to increase capacity on business skills (marketing, record keeping/budgeting, leadership).

After the training, it was realized that these women were running small businesses that could not sustain their well-being; therefore, the idea to search for capital to help them expand their businesses was imperative.

Construction of Agriculture School to Train Street Children

CAEPA Cameroon has laid down the ground work for the construction of a school of agriculture to train street children, orphans, and vulnerable children, runaway girls, single mothers, on crop and livestock production. CAEPA is looking for support to raise the structure,as the land has already been acquired.
