Supplies for families who fled the crisis
September 2020, Bonaberi: food and essentials for displaced families, shared onwards with neighbours and relatives.
01
The challenge
Families had fled the crisis from Bamenda and elsewhere to Douala, many with little to feed their children.
02
What we did
The Foundation shared food and household supplies with the families at Bonaberi.
03
What changed
Families said the gift would sustain them for some days. One host said it would help feed the children in their care; one mother planned to share hers with her parents in the village.
