During this period Better Family Foundation (BFF) organized a one day workshop for internally displaced persons in the North West Region of Cameroon. These people are displaced due to the deepening socio-politcal crisis that has plagued the rural areas of the region. Many of the affected population has moved to the Bamenda Urban centre. Many of these displaced persons are volunerable to Sexually Transmissible Infections (STIs) due to misery resulting from poverty and street life. Many of this people live a begging life style which exposes them to vulnerability to sex and sexual assaults.
Considering this situation, Better family Foundation organized a one day workshop to train this people on HIV prevention methods and building of better life skills in order to ensure their safety and good health. This workshop took place in the Mile 5 neighbourhood in Nkwen Bamenda and will likely move to other places as far as our resources permit.
The over thirty participants who attended the workshop were finally dispatched to the community as community sensitizers in order to mitigate the prevalence of STIs and gender based violence. Better Family Foundation Management contrinues to thank all donors who are contributing in whatever way to sustain this program.
