Beneficiaries Heap Praises On Henrietta Nkongchu Foundation


By Ashuntantang Taku Ellien


Some over 50 women and young girls have lauded the Henrietta Nkongchu Foundation after receiving food items and cash support in line with the Anglophone Crisis and the CODIV-19 and its devastating effects.

The donations took place last Saturday September 2, 2020 at the Women Empowerment Center, Limbe.

The donations were done to the over 50 Internally Displaced women and girls by Henrietta Nkongchu Foundation with support from Intersource.

Bridget Ngo, a beneficiary of the largesse, appreciated the Henrietta Nkongchu foundation for supporting them during this difficult period of time because they have been facing so many difficulties such feeding, paying of bills, sending children to school as well as providing for themselves despite the fact that they have occupied themselves with little businesses.

They also gave thanks to God almighty for sending such a person to come support them and prayed that may God continue to bless her for her good works.

Other beneficiaries who opted for anonymity confirmed with joy that some of them survived on a daily bases by receiving aids from NGOs.

The young women and girls also thanked the Henrietta Nkongchu Foundation for the little lesson given to them during the event to learn how to save their money.

 Speaking during the event, beneficiaries also mentioned their problems such as Gender Based Violence.

In response to this, the Divisional Delegate of Women Empowerment for Fako, Veronica Nkwenti told them on how to treat the matter.

 The Divisional Delegate also made mention of the fact that she does not only stand for the women but does so too for the men because she has come across several cases of women brutalizing their husbands.

The women were visibly excited for the stuff and knowledge which they gained from the event.

Members of the Henrietta Nkongchu Foundation and representatives from the Women Empowerment and the Family Center also advised the youth on how to be responsible especially in their dressing.

Speaking to The Advocate at the close of the event, Bih Lesly who represented the head of the foundation said the main aim of this foundation is to assist the less privileged in the society.

We help mostly the young children, young girls, women and widows by giving them financial assistance and unorthodox support system to assist them as well assisting needy students to go back to school.” She narrated 




According to her; they also educate young people on how to develop live skills that can help them in future.

It should be noted that the foundation works with organizations that are well established in the country and in partnership with Intersource.

The foundation started this 2020 and it’s about 6 months old, yet many have described it as a baby born with teeth.

  By Dr. Sylvester Tabe Arrey (st.arrey@yahoo.com) (Sylvester is a Lecturer in the Department of International Relations and Conflict Resolution, University of Buea, Cameroon) This piece seeks to contribute in deepening the public's knowledge and understanding of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. What is Ukraine's offence? Why has Russia chosen to launch an offensive at this point and what exactly does it seek to achieve? What will happen next and where is the world heading? These and other questions have been attended to here. It may end up being a long piece but I appeal on you to exercise some patience and come along with me. On the international stage, states don't have permanent friends. Friendship lasts for only as long as the other party is still relevant to the fulfilment of their interests. It is common for them to share a bed with one party today and avoid them the next if their interests change and the fellow becomes irrelevant or too dangerous to stay close. Common i...

Key amongst these measures were recommendations on hygiene (handwashing and/or hand sanitizing) and social distancing aimed at limiting transmission. Other theories have been put forward as to how best to manage COVID-19, ranging from the use of pharmaceutical products like chloroquine to food supplements.   For any of these to merit any serious consideration, it is important to know how the body actually reacts to viral infections.   The human body generally has the appropriate mechanisms to defend itself against bacterial or viral (pathogen) attacks.    The first line of defense is generally through ...
