Diocese of Kumbo

In November of 2016, a social political crisis broke out in Cameroon and has continued to negatively affect the lives of many especially, women who have lost their husbands (widowed) and children (orphaned) to the war. People have been killed including innocent children and women. Homes have been burnt, rendering families homeless while children continue to be deprived of the right to basic education and skills development. In the midst of all this, the Church of the Diocese of Kumbo continues to inspire hope by living its Divine mandate.

Through its socio-pastoral services, the Diocese of Kumbo has continued to accompany the vulnerable and most needy; providing food rations, clothing, medical assistance, potable water and now roofing sheets to homeless families while advocating for a cease fire and a gradual return to calm in the affected areas.

Proceeds from our 2019, 2020 and 2021 Missionary Cooperation Plan activities carried out in the United States assisted us in setting up a few ‘women centers’ where young girls and women especially the widowed in some affected parts of the Diocese could receive psycho-social support through counseling, acquire skills in hairdressing, embroidery, fashion design and other trades that could benefit their needs and those of their families and communities.
The diocese is also involved in youth training programs, health program, social services, training of Catechists, training of seminarians etc

With the 2024 MCP proceeds, we would like to continue to assist victims of the political crisis by: building more schools, women centers, health facilities, paying tuition for children and to support parishes that have been financially bankrupt due to the crisis. We will be grateful if you assist us.
