Yogam-USA is a group of young men and women from
a small village called Bayangam located in the Western
part of Cameroon, a small country in Central Africa. Most
of these young people have been living in the USA for
just about 10 years. Healthcare is still very precarious
in Bayangam; this is why we are working hard to
facilitate access to drinking water so as to reduce the
resurgence of infectious diseases. We held the first
fundraising event in 2008 and that helped us to finance
the drilling of drinking water and restore existing water
sources in our village.
To encourage our young brothers and sisters living in
this rural area of Cameroon, we distribute basic school
supplies each year. We firmly believe that education is
the key to sustained development. We also believe, as
Nelson Mandela once stated, that “Education is the
powerful weapon which can be used to change the
world”.
Please Support Yogam-USA and its action by donating
or making a pledge during the fundraising event that
will be held on July 12, 2014.
