MISSION

VISION

ABOUT US +

OUR MISSION

In 2008, members of the Cameroonian Diaspore living in the US founded the Wimbum Community Foundation (WCF) with the idea that social, economic, environmental, and cultural transformations for the communities in Cameroon and sub-Saharan Africa are within reach.

Today’s world of pluralism is scourged by social, economic, and environmental inconsistencies and problems. We must work together if a community is to develop strategically.

Governments face various challenges and constraints while trying to meet the needs of communities on their own. Therefore, WCF views its mission as imperative—to render assistance in accelerating growth in developing communities including those in Cameroon and beyond.

It is our fervent belief that the collaborative efforts of many can put diverse resources to the best possible use, thereby leading to the successful community development that is so desperately needed in many areas.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

WCF staff and members hold to the following guiding principles. These principles guide every aspect of our dealings with communities, donors, partners, and other collaborators:

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Wimbum Community Foundation (WCF) was founded in 2008 when concerned social change agents of the Mbumland came together to find the possibility of advancing the socioeconomic and cultural changes of the Mbum community at home and in the Diaspora.
