Mission

RUDEC’s mission, as a non-governmental organization, is to continually seek resources that can promote the socio-economic empowerment of the underprivileged, contribute toward community development and skill sharing through voluntary interchange in the  Belo, Cameroon area communities.

  • To build the capacities of communities on modern bee farming and the transformation of bee byproducts.
  • To mitigate poverty through socio-economic empowerment.
