Center for internally displaced people

Duration: 17 months (March 2020-July 2021) € Budget: 435,000 EUR Funding: Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Luxembourg Red Cross

Cameroon is the theater of an internal conflict between its English-speaking regions of the North West and South West, and its central government.

On May 19, 2021, we inaugurated a multipurpose Reception Center in the Foumban region, together with the President of the Cameroonian Red Cross. This center includes a reception area and emergency accommodation for those who flee the violence. It is made of several separate buildings (showers and toilets, kitchen, dormitories and reception). Thanks to a generator and a water tank, which gathers rainwater, the building functions in an autonomous way. It is adaptable and can convert into a training center.

This center provides the local population with an access to 4 sources of drinking water. In 2021, our humanitarian teams on site distributed essential hygiene products to 4,480 people.
