Plan Cameroon has donated material support
to refugees in the Northern Region of Cameroon worth over FCFA 670 million
according reports. Sources say the items
from Plan Cameroon consist of tents, blankets, mosquito nets, soap boxes, tarpaulins;
latrine slabs, kitchen utensils etc were handed to beneficiaries last April 22,
2015.
The support from Plan Cameroon made
possible thanks to the contribution of AERich Aid. It should be noted that Plan
Cameroon has been working at the Minawao refugee camp in the area of education,
protection as well as hygiene and sanitation. For example, Plan Cameroon has
been building learning spaces for displaced pupils and student given that every
child is at the heart of everything Plan Cameroon does in Cameroon.
The Minawao camp it should be recalled was
established in the wake of the first refugees fleeing the atrocities of the
Islamic sect Boko Haram from Nigeria as well as accommodate the Central African
Republic (RCA) conflict. Originally planned to house 18,000 refugees, today an
estimated 34,000 refugees are reported to have stormed the camp in six months,
and latest statistics show that there are more than 40,000 refugees in the camp.
