Progress Reports from JRCCA

Greetings To Our Donors and Supporters;

One of the major problems for our displaced families has been the lack of communication from zone to zone and to our main headquarters in Yaounde.  Communication is one of the most important standard in our JRCCA Organization because of the challenges of the on-going  Civil War for the past five years and the rural environment that has tremendouly impacted our survival in an isolated environment.  

 We are indebted and give thanks  to our sisters organization in the USA who helped us by providing  finances to buy two Android phones to improve the communication challenge for some of our identified  displaced members who have been deprived of these tools  to use in carrying out organization activities at various levels in their zone.  These phones will be used as part of the Cyber-Cafe , Walkie Talkie, Project that will improve communication between the Zones and the Home Office in Yaounde as well as open doors to be able to communicate over the internet and zoon with sister organization in the USA.

This equipment (an Android phone of mark Itel A56) was handed to the  Zone 5  Director  for  Internally  Displaced People ( IDPS).   This event took place at the JRCCA Simbock Head office in Yaounde Cameroon ,Africa.  It was Coordinated by Manager of Cyber Cafe,  JRCCA President,  JRCCA Vice president and the Zone Director for Zone 5 and the SNT leaders for Zone 5 and FRD for Zone 5 in the SWR .

This equipment will be used to enhance communication in many ways bridging the gap between the rural communities and indigenous people of Weh , connecting the indigenous people of Weh via the internet and zoom.   Also connecting Wum  to the main office and the International Community and the USA via internet and zoom,  Reporting on activities of the JRCCA NGO work to support more than 10 families,  20 students, 10 women in Wum area, 30 women in Toneku village in Zone 1 in the English speaking region of  NW Cameroon. These phones  will also enhance the JRCCA Women Empowerment projects in Weh, Zone 5, Toneku village in Zone 1 which promote Women's rights for these women and girls who have been displaced from their families, villages, communities and region in Cameroon.  These zone are the most isolated at this time and the IDPs do not have access to outside information for days.

The equipment will also be used to promote and improve health education and sensitization on importance of education and awareness about the HiV/AIDS project for displaced families because of the Civil conflict and the pandemic.  Many of the displaced families are still in hiding in the bushes and are in situations where they do not have access to basic information.  Working with our new partners on collaborative projects we will be able to promote youths and sports projects which have always been main events for youths in the English speaking NW/SW Regions.  The equipment will help indigenous Bee Farmers in Weh and help establish JRCCA IT Cyber Cafe in Weh Village , Wum, and  TAAH and , Mbengwi in Momo Division  etc...

For example, one of the Android phone will reach the contact  person at a later unknown date. " He said he is in Kom for now and that when he will be going to Bamenda Town, he will inform me and in the mean while if any JRCCA officer will be coming to Bamenda, I can kindly inform him so he can rush and collect it. So I told him ok I will get with the President then get back to him".

 "With regards to the website, we are currently working on a cost analysis assessment of the potential solutions to adopt for our website infrastructure. We want to ensure that the development and maintenance of the site will be sustainable and easy to update. Once an ideal solution is chosen, we will do well to keep you apprised".  "JRCCA NGO has a a goal to developing Technology for Good in this World"

If we are going to implement the concept of global social responsibility for our displaced families because of the Civil conflict in the English speaking NW Region in Cameroon and in the USA (Relationship between USA and Cameroon does exist) to improve health, education, living conditions, clean water, the economy and reduce poverty in the families, villages, communities, regions and the nation of Cameroon, we need to continue to focus setting and achieving SMART GOALS with ACTION STEPS despite the challenges from the Civil Conflict, Pandemic or other adverse challenges to the English speaking NW/SW Regions in Cameroon.

We are grateful and thankful for donors and sponsors who understand this concept and who are willing to provide services above self that will benefit other human beings on this planet.

Kind Regards,
