Skills, income and schooling for a rural community
Sabongari lies in Nwa Sub-Division, Donga-Mantung, in the North West Region of Cameroon. Our three programmes support each other: mothers earn, daughters train, children learn.
Women’s Multipurpose Cooperative
More than 200 registered women in four groups (Lihkop, Lihmbaw, Sabongari and Kurt) farm together, store food in the cooperative warehouse and sell when prices are fair. Savings and small loans help members start businesses.
Vocational Training Centre
Young women and girls learn a trade: tailoring, soap production, poultry farming, rice processing and packaging. The centre’s best trainees have gone on to become its trainers.
St. Therese Catholic Comprehensive College
SATHECCCOL is a co-educational Catholic secondary school with campuses in Sabongari and Lihmbaw. It has produced the best GCE results in Donga-Mantung Division, with a 100% Advanced Level pass rate three years in a row.
Information, education and sensitisation
Through weekly home visits, village meetings and workshops with young girls, we raise awareness about the dignity of women, the prevention of violence, health, nutrition, hygiene and sanitation, petty trading and agriculture.
