The Life and Water Development Group-Cameroon (LWDG-Cameroon), is a not-for-profit organization  that serves as a catalyst for better environment, education, community development and health in Cameroon by transforming individuals and communities through volunteer opportunities, project proposals, grants writing, community initiatives process that empowers them to change themselves and their communities for the better. LWDG-Cameroon unlocks the potential of individuals, irrespective of their economic, social, or political status, to create change in their communities. This change begins at a training workshop where participants are taken through a step by step process that motivates them to tackle various social issues using locally available resources. Using this methodology, participants have always generated better results, experienced  projects focusing on topics such as increasing community development programs, health, education, orphan children, women and girl child issues, HIV/AIDS awareness, better care for orphans and vulnerable children, child abuse, population and reproductive health and preventing malaria, infectious diseases and clean water supply and sanitation. LWDG-Cameroon has since inception also operated a Communications For Better Health Programme involving the the production and free construction and distribution of bio sand filters to the villagers of Nkuv, Kumbo, health professionals working in the rural areas and other target groups have also benefited from our programs. The idea being to bring up-to-date information to the door-steps of these groups of people who lack access to health, water, education information. 

The objectives of LWDG-Cameroon are therefore to  relieve suffering and alleviate the poverty, reduce disease burden, especially among the rural population of Cameroon. LWDG-Cameroon trains and empowers front-line community youths, elders, women, in order to strengthen and develop and acquire skills that will enable them take action for a better community. LWDG-Cameroon is seeking partnership with you through the implementation of collaborative programmes in Cameroon. LWDG-Cameroon has so many projects proposals, which can be e-mailed to you as soon as you request for them. We also have volunteer opportunities in various communities around Cameroon. Our annual report can be sent to you upon request. In the hope that you will find this request useful, do accept our best regards and hectic appreciation for collaborating in genuine anticipation.
