Relief landslide victims of Lebialem

 Support landslide victims -Lebialem division, Cameroon


A devastating landslide hit Essoh-Attah and Njoh'ngwi villages in Lebialem Division as well as part of Njongo village (Mbo) on the 4th of August 2017 displacing hundreds of people. This has resulted to a lot of human, animal and material damages (houses, animals, farmlands, etc). Few persons are still missing among whom is Chief Fuakalem.  The displaced victims are presently taking refuge at the Catholic mission school, Abebueh.

As the search for the still missing persons continues, we plead with well wishers to donate generously so that those displaced could be fed and re-located. The displaced victims need food, water, mattrases, blankets, clothes and health service urgently.  After which the homeless people will need to be rehabilitated.



An estimated amount of €5000 will enable the rescue team to feed and cloth the displaced victims and €15000 will support with the re-construction of houses for the victims.  It would be wonderful if all displaced victims could be rehabilitated within 3 months from now.

We are counting on your urgent support.

Lebialem division is situated in the South West Region of Cameroon with three administrative sub-division (17 Fondoms);
  • Fontem (Essoh-Attah, Lebang & Njogwi),
  • Alou (Lewoh, Ndungated, Nwametaw, Nwangong, M'mouckmbie & M'mouch-ngie) and
  • Wabane (Mamumbu, Bangang, Banti, Bechati, Besali, Folepi, Egumbo & Nkong).
It is made up of two major tribal groups (Nweh & Mundani) with a population of about 160,000 inhabitants (2014 estimate). Their major sources of livelihoods are subsistence agriculture (cocoyams, cassava, beans, groundnut, cocoa, coffee, ...) and livestock rearing. The roads to these areas are unbearable and often inaccessible from other parts of the country. Victims are somehow trapped in this 'national enclave' with little support from other parts of the country. You are their only hope and they need you now more than ever.
