Rooted in Bamenda. Driven by inclusion.
About CVID-CAM
We work alongside persons with disabilities and vulnerable communities to build a more inclusive Cameroon.
Our story
A community vision from Bamenda
A board from CVID-CAM’s first constituent general assembly records a meeting on 6 February 2021 in Musang, Bamenda. The organisation’s later authorisation is dated 21 July 2021. Its work is rooted in community-based support for persons with disabilities and other vulnerable persons.
Our vision
Equal opportunity to participate
Our founding banner describes a society in which vulnerable persons are recognised, protected, and given equal opportunities to participate and become development actors.
Our mission
Sustainable support, built together
Our founding banner calls for community-based, sustainable support to persons with disabilities, other vulnerable persons including those at risk, and community structures through education, health, protection, and livelihood.
