Number of IDPs doubled in one year

by | Sep 17, 2019 | Improving Lives News

The UN has recently announced that the number of anglophones who have become displaced since the start of the political crisis in 2016 has doubled since 2018.  There are now a million IDPs from the NW and SW regions of Cameroon – very many of whom have fled to the jungle regions to escape the violence.  They have lost everything: their homes, their villages, their livelihoods, their farms, family members …. everything.  Rape is a common weapon in this kind of crisis and many school-aged girls have become pregnant and have had to give birth in the jungle, having received no ante-natal care. Infant mortality rates and maternal mortality rates are on the rise.  It is a desperate situation.

We are running a special appeal to raise funds to help 1000 IDPs who are in crisis.  It’s not enough – but it is at least a start.  Please help us – see our appeal on our website Home Page. Remember that every single penny you donate will go directly to this appeal, with absolutely no deductions.
