Hygiene and Sanitation Activities

In order to improve hygiene and sanitation at the homes of our beneficiaries FORCE-CAM has been constructing latrines and bathing rooms for the improved health of OVC’s and their families. Prior to the construction of latrines families would use holes in the ground with no shelter, dilapidated non-functioning latrines or in some cases, only the bush.  By not using a specific area for waste collection the  natural environment and water sources are at risk for contamination.

ABOUT FORCE-CAM

FOUNDATION for Resources and Community Empowerment OF CAMEROON (FORCE-CAM) is an apolitical, non-profit making Charity organisation registeration No. 034/E.29/1111/VOL8/APPB of 29 May 2006 and governed by Law N° 90/053 of 19 December 1990. It has its head office in Bamenda and operational offices in Ndu, Donga Mantung Division and Yaoundé. FORCE-CAM, also called YUNIWO FOUNDATION was founded by Pa David Yuniwo Nfor. Born a Prince of the Palace of Ndu in 1933, Pa soon became an orphan barely two years after when his father H.R.H Fon NFOR died in 1935. This was followed shortly with the death of his mother Wintoh Bonyah when he was 12 years old. Pa David NFOR grew up as an orphan living the daily challenges that go along with.

It was from a background of someone who understood the mind of an orphan and the challenges an orphan goes through that Pa Yuniwo developed the guts of taking care and improving upon the wellbeing of Orphans and the less privilege in his community. In the course of time, his charity activities eventually gave birth to an organization known as FORCE-CAM (YUNIWO FOUNDATION) which coordinates orphans support activities that he had been doing decades before. At his death on the 5th of December 2007 at the age of 74, he lived a continuous life of thankfulness to those God had blessed with sound advice, who advised him when he was at crossroads; those God had blessed with good homes who gave him shelter when he had nowhere to stay; those God had blessed with encouraging spirit who encouraged him when he was losing hope; and those God had blessed with money who paid his fees when he needed enrolment into school. These are the ideals that motivate FORCE-CAM’s activities.
