Know Us

We are a local faith-based non-profit working in and out of Yaoundè, to get kids off the streets, back to school, and reconnect with their families. Our mission is to heal the broken hearts of street kids, poor, oppressed, afflicted and other vulnerable people who in return do the same for the growth of our community.

NM House area of work has been inspired by the need to address the vulnerability of street kids, resulting largely from our cultural diversity in the Far North, North, and Eastern Region of Cameroon. About 20% of these street kids and other vulnerable results from the ongoing Anglophone crisis in the Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon. Over the past three years, many families have been internally displaced by this humanitarian crisis, with the resultant impact on kids and other vulnerable populations. Recent research we conducted from March 2019 to December 2019 in Yaoundè, the capital city of Cameroon to better comprehend the magnitude of this humanitarian crisis on children and families, revealed that, in Yaoundè, there are over 1,600 street kids spread throughout the nine major quarters, with a male to female ratio of 4:1. About 20% of these kids are on the streets because of abuse at home, 20% are “runaways” because of some crime they’d committed, while a greater majority (60%) are on the streets in search of a better life. Further analysis of the research findings, revealed that about 300 of these kids are injured with a significant number having infected wounds that require urgent medical care. At the time of this research, 23 pregnancies were recorded-some of the girls are underaged.

Through this engagement, we hope to highlight the key issues that impact street kids and stimulate conversations on how government agencies, international partners, and non-profits can work collaboratively, to improve the plight of street kids through the design of locally sustainable solutions, that are aimed at improving the overall health and well-being of vulnerable children the world over.

Our main objective is investing in the health and education systems, access to nutrition, services, knowledge, and skills in order to alleviate poverty, corruption, and injustice. We collaborate with other NGOs to create awareness in the human, environmental, civil, economic sustainability, and nurture mutual beliefs for the advancement of our community.
