National Coordinator Mongo Foundation Cameroon: Mme Wutidma Olivia alias (Ma Vatican)

This typical philanthropic organization, Mongo Foundation Int. through its activities and services to humanity in the North West Region of Cameroon is creating a lot of impact in the lives of Cameroonians in desperate situations. The Foundation never sleeps when it comes to giving hope and happiness to little children, particularly orphans and underprivileged ones. Since the beginning of the year, this Foundation has proven its worth as a source of hope and happiness to underprivileged children and orphans across the North West Region. They are moving from place to place making sure these children are at least brought to a level like those of the rich and doing so with the message that “God has a good plan for them” and that their parents are not dead yet.

In Baba I village on Friday 13^th day of April 2012, like elsewhere in Mbengwi, Bafut and Bamenda, the Foundation has generously donated some sizeable packets of assorted items to children, thanks to assistance from the “SAMARITAN’S PURSE” in United States of America through their programmed, “Christmas Child”. Hundreds of both registered and unregistered children (orphans) turned out for the sharing of gifts ceremony at the esplanade of the Fon’s Palace at Baba I despite the bad weather that characterized that Friday afternoon.
