Caritas Bamenda Donates 12 Motorbikes to Parish Social Welfare Commissions

By Elisabeth Mamouh

Caritas of the Archdiocese of Bamenda, in partnership with Missio Aachen, has donated twelve motorbikes and full safety equipment to Social Welfare Commissions (SWCs) in twelve selected parishes across the Archdiocese.
The donation, which took place on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, at St. Joseph Guest House, Big Mankon, is aimed at strengthening the Church’s capacity to reach vulnerable people and communities in need of social and pastoral assistance.

The handover ceremony was presided over by the Archbishop of Bamenda, His Grace Andrew Nkea Fuanya. Some parish priests, representatives of the beneficiary Social Welfare Commissions and staff of Caritas Bamenda were present at the ceremony.

According to Caritas officials, the donation represents the pilot phase of a broader initiative aimed at improving the effectiveness of parish-based social welfare structures. Of the 72 parishes in the Archdiocese, twelve were selected to benefit from the first phase, following a baseline survey conducted to assess their needs and capacities.
Under the action plans developed for the beneficiary parishes, the motorbikes will primarily be used to improve mobility for social welfare activities. They are expected to facilitate timely interventions and follow-up in cases involving vulnerable individuals and families across Mezam, Boyo, Menchum, Ngoketunjia and Momo Divisions of the North West Region.
The motorbikes and safety equipment were blessed and officially handed over by Archbishop Andrew Nkea accompanied by the Director of Caritas Bamenda, Mrs. Odette Nchanji Akebegho.

Speaking during the ceremony, Mrs. Nchanji Akebegho said the initiative is directly linked to the implementation of the Provincial Pastoral Plan.
She explained that the project seeks to strengthen parish social welfare commissions so that they can respond more rapidly and effectively to the needs of vulnerable people in their communities.
She further noted that the initiative would establish a feedback mechanism between the beneficiary parishes and Caritas. The system, she said, would enable Caritas to assess the impact of the intervention, identify areas requiring further support and provide evidence for extending the initiative to additional parishes in the future.
Prior to receiving the motorbikes, the twelve beneficiary parishes had undergone capacity-building in key areas including good governance, safeguarding, resource mobilisation and accountability.

The intervention forms part of the Strengthening Pastoral Structures for Community Resilience, Livelihood Promotion, and Social Cohesion (SPaRLC) project, funded by Missio Aachen.

The initiative is expected to enhance the capacity of parish-based social welfare structures to respond to the needs of vulnerable persons while strengthening the Church’s presence and service to communities across the Archdiocese of Bamenda.

Staff of Caritas Bamenda have undergone a 2days capacity building workshop on Operationalizing the IASC (Inter-Agency Standing Committee) guidelines: Enhancing disability-inclusive Humanitarian Programming. The training took place from the 6th to 7th of February 2026 organized by CUAPWD (a network of all organizations of persons disabilities in Cameroon).

Romaric Tume took time to explain phase 4 of the project CUAPWD is implementing Leave No One Behind (LNOB4). The program he said seeks to ensure that all persons with disabilities are included in all aspects of life and so humanitarians should not neglect them in all facets of project implementation from conception to implementation.

The coordinator of CUAPWD, Chick Sama, in a succint presentation explained what disability is, making a difference between disability and impairment. While expounding on the situation and size of problem of diability in the North West, Mr. Sama also explained the models of disability, the vicious cycle of poverty and disability, causes and barriers of disability. He then moved to the key Framework in Disability Inclusion where he talked of the 2010 law on disability, and IASC guidelines on disability inclusion.

Participants also gained knowledge on the concept of icoordination in humanitarian response, the roles of humanitarian organizations in inclusion, humanitarian Programme cycle (HPC) reset and implications for disability inclusion. The Washington Group Short Set (WG-SS) and the amended version were also explained.

A staff of Caritas explained the overview, mission, vision, structure, areas of work, current programs, achievements, challenges and opportunities for disability mainstreaming.

The training provided a veritable opprtunity for Caritas Bamenda to fine tune their strategies on how to effectively include disability inclusion to their programming. It also provided an oppprtunity for more collaboration between Caritas Bamenda and CUAPWD.

At the end of the training, certificates of Attestation of participation was shared to participants.

Stop violence against women and girls✋🏼

In view of the continuous celebration of the 16days of activism against Gender Based Violence, Caritas Bamenda came together for a round table discussion on this year's theme
“Unite to End Digital Violence against all Women and Girls”.

Holding at Caritas Office space, discussions centered on what Gender Based Violence is and how it affects women and girls as well as men and boys. Emphasis were laid on digital violence which is the theme for this year, how it is manifested, the consequences and mitigation measures. Some of the forms of digital violence include cyber bullying, deep fake, cyber stalking, online harassment, image based sexual abuse, doxing, online grooming and hate speech with consequences ranging from psychological breakdown, family separation, disruption of reputation amongst others.

As a way forward, participants advocated for telecom companies to moderate the use of social media platforms, inclusion of digital training in the school curricula and that NGOs and civil society organizations to step up sensitization on positive parenting.

It was also highlighted that women and girls are mostly affected by GBV particularly digital violence hence the emphasis on them.

At the end of the discussion, action points were taken to guide the organization in it's campaign against all forms of GBV.
