In February 2008, Rachelle Lynn Clune and Elizabeth Rhea Embry, both nurses in the United States of America (USA), will visit Helps International (HINT), an NGO located in Buea, South West Province of Cameroon in Sub-Sahara Africa.

During their time here, they will take part in a medical outreach program planned to take place in 2 rural communities: Ekona and Tole.

The outreaches are intended to:

  • Sensitize these communities on the HIV/AIDS pandemic
  • Train HIV Educators in these communities
  • Educate the public (esp. youths) on sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
  • Train community members on various aspects of basic hygiene.
  • Offer free consultations and free medication.

Rachelle & Beth need US$ 3,425.97 (excluding their flights to Cameroon and back) to be able to reach these rural villages with this life-saving information, training and resources.

We would like to invite you to participate in this outreach with your donations.

16 people receive training and or loans

by Leave a Comment

16 people including 14 women and 2 men in Ekona town received training on how to start, run, and grow small businesses for income generation.

The one-day seminar took place in Ekona at the Full Gospel Church Hall.

At the end of the training, 5 women received loans ranging from 20,000 – 75,000 Frs. The loans will enable most of them to buy in bulk, so that they can make more profit that will be used to improve their social and economic conditions.

Several other women and groups are looking up to us but we are running out of loans. We need you come in so we can help more women.

To see how you can help visit our How You Can Help page.

Go here for photos of recipients and the training.

Thank you.
