DEH as a beacon for hope and aspirations to orphans in Cameroon

Development for humanity is very worried by the growing number of orphans, partly attributed to the violent conflict that has rugged the North West and South West regions of Cameroon, since October 2016. In this light, members of DEH gave hope to some children of Grace Tait Shelter Orphanage at Foncha Street Nkwen Bamenda, Cameroon.

The coordinator of DEH Mrs Peng Ernestine led a delegation to said orphanage on Sunday the 05th of November 2023. In addition to messages of hope and encourage, she and her delegation brought along basic food items to support the daily needs of the children. The head of the orphanage Pastor Numfor, the matron and a cross-section of the children were present to receive the gifts. The head of the orphanage appreciated the gesture, saying that it came at a time when the orphanage was facing a lot of difficulties, since it could not access the farm where food used to be cultivated to support the children’s food needs. In addition, the children were not attending school regularly, due to difficulties to pay for school needs. There are over 1.2 million orphans in Cameroon orphans and vulnerable children in Cameroon. About 450.000 internally displaced persons are children. Offering them a hand can change their lives. DEH believes in, and is engaged in bringing hope to the hopeless in Cameroon.
