Story
Since November 2016 the crisis in cameroon between the English Speaking minority and government of Cameroon has turned into an armed conflict as the governement of Cameroon declared war on the nationalist movement Ambazonia: a name adopted by the former British Cameroons seeking independence from the majority french Cameroon .
This has left about 35000 refugees currently in Nigeria and about a million people internally displaced. Web relief reports that over 1000 children are seperated from their families. Amnesty international, the centre for Human Right and Democracy in Africa has reported over 200 villages have been burnt down by soldiers with about 30 persons reported to be burnt alive according to local media reports.
I grew up and went to school in my community with Jerome . He was very intelligent and a kind loving gentleman. Unfortunately Jerome became mentally hill and dropped out from school as there exist no support from the local authorities. He was rounded up a long side the 4 other young man in my community (NGIE ) by Soldiers and were later found dead in another village. This has often been the case with locals who attempt to stay behind in affected areas.
As a result of this, we have thousands of young men and women in bushes seeking refuge as the violence continues unnoticed by the world. Over a 1000 people are feared dead according to facts from different local community leaders.
For those who have managed to escape, life has become unbearable as there have little or no help from the limited resources provided by charities and other individuals.
knowing that people I grew up with have now abandoned everything and turned to beggars because of a senseless war has left me with a very heavy heart and frustration.
Please, I am counting on you all to help me reach my goal of training at least 20 of these victims who will then train others.
Training someone as a tailor, Hairdresser or in basic IT skills will cost about £150.
Thank you!
