CELEBRATING THE RURAL WOMAN — 15 OCTOBER 2026
Today at the Chefferie de Bamougoum, Mifi Division, the rural woman was celebrated in all her beauty, strength, and glory!
Women came dressed in different colours, bright as the morning sun. Their voices filled the air, and their dancing feet seemed to shake the ground. There was joy, there was unity, and above all, there was a powerful reminder of who these women are and what they mean to our communities.
Save a Soul Cameroon (SASCAM) was there to celebrate with them.
The day was marked by inspiring speeches from an administrative representative and presidents of women's networks. The women were reminded that the nation depends on them and that their daily work matters.
We were also happy to witness the distribution of agricultural gifts, including spraying machines, buckets, hoes, and fertilisers, presented by the female parliamentarian for Bafoussam II. These are practical items that can help women in their agricultural activities.
And when the presidents of the women's networks led their women in dance, you could feel the happiness and pride in the atmosphere!
Dear rural woman, we see you. We appreciate you. Your work matters. You work the land, care for your family, feed communities, and contribute to the development of our nation, often without the recognition you deserve.
At SASCAM, we believe that when you invest in a woman, you invest in a family and a community. And when you invest in a girl child, you help build a stronger future.
As the celebration came to an end shortly after 2 p.m., one message remained in our hearts: the rural woman deserves more than a day of celebration. She deserves respect, opportunities, resources, and continued support
The woman who feeds the community deserves to be celebrated, but she also deserves to be supported. The girl child we invest in today may become the woman who transforms tomorrow.
