CAMEROON - Mbang

Formation

for "young mothers".

The city of Mbang is situated in a forested area of Southwest Cameroon, in Pygmy country.  The economic activities there are related to SFID (the Forest and Industrial Society of Doumé).  The population's income is very poor. Although the SFID made the city a crossroads of encounters while promoting commercial activities, it has also brought forth an increase in social plagues, including sexual vagrancy. Unschooled girls are easy targets.  A recent report showed that in the area of Mbang, 70% of the girls have their first child at 14 years old. The social security, the formation and social insertion of these girls is an urgent task. A DHS community opened in Mbang in 2008, concerned to change this situation, is initiating a project in this direction. Project : mbanga.pdf
