Caritas Cameroon to improve humanitarian work

The present situation of poverty, influx of refugees and vulnerable migrants from neighbouring countries is a major preoccupation to humanitarian partners. It is in this light that the third meeting of Caritas Cameroon National Diocesan Coordinators opened in Yaounde on Monday, November 9, 2015, on the theme, “Let’s Act Together.”

Speaking at the occasion, the President of Caritas Cameroon, His Lordship Jan Ozga, said Caritas Cameroon must be strengthened in order to be efficient and remain a main player in the fight against poverty. He said this can only be successful if different Caritas branches work together.

He announced that Caritas intends to carry out sensitisation to awaken the spirit of solidarity and compassion and get organised in order to ensure that assistance reaches people in hardship.

Caritas is an institution and charity that brings together all officials in Catholic dioceses. The present session aims at strengthening and revitalising Caritas networks in Cameroon in order to improve the impact of its work among poor and vulnerable people.

The meeting is to be kept abreast with Caritas Cameroon’s new internal rules and regulations.
