Relief in Crisis: Emergency Kits for Crisis-Affected Families in Anglophone Cameroon
An Ongoing Humanitarian Response – Lives Depend on Your Support
Thousands have fled their homes due to escalating violence in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions. We are on the ground—delivering hope, one relief kit at a time.
The Crisis: Conflict and Displacement
For years, armed conflict in the Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon has forced over 700,000 people from their homes. Families flee through forests, leaving behind livelihoods, schools, and safety. With limited access to food, clean water, and shelter, displaced women and children face extreme vulnerability.
As violence continues, more families arrive daily in overcrowded host communities—many with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
We’re responding with urgent, life-saving aid.
Our Project: Emergency Relief in Action
“Relief in Crisis” is an ongoing emergency response project delivering critical support to 200 crisis-affected families in hard-to-reach areas of Anglophone Cameroon.
Since launching in early 2018, our team has distributed emergency kits, set up temporary shelters, and provided psychosocial care to traumatized children and caregivers.
Each $30 emergency kit contains essential supplies to sustain a family of 5–6 for two weeks:
Non-perishable food (rice, beans, oil, salt)
Water purification tablets & collapsible jerrycans
Thermal blankets & sleeping mats
Tarpaulin sheets for emergency shelter
Hygiene kit (soap, sanitary pads, toothpaste, detergent)
Solar-powered flashlight
