Our Journey
Our hand of Help to the Abuh Community
In April 2019 Good Samaritan Foundation donated free basic household needs to the people of Abuh village, Funding Subdivision which included pots, clothes, palm oil, Boxes of matches, clothes and bags of rice. These donations were made to the Abuh people whose houses were burnt down due to the Northwest and South West (NW/SW) crisis in November 2018. These materials were meant to help them to be able to feed their families and be clothed as all of them lost their clothes and dresses to the burnings of the crisis.
Abuh is one of the villages hardest hit by the crisis in Fundong Sub divisions in Boyo Division. Abuh has four (4) quarters which are:
- Abuikui
- Atuabuh
- Isaiabuh and
- Njinijua
Abuh village has a total population of more than seven thousand (7000) inhabitants. It is bounded by Muteff to the North, Ngwah to the South, Laikom Palace to the West and to the East by the Ijim mountain forest.
In 2018 the Good Samaritan Foundation collected the statistics of the total number of houses that were burnt down rendering their occupants homeless. These people have become needy hence they are vulnerable. A total number of eighty-three (83) houses were destroyed through burning in the crisis as of now.
Joining the fight against COVID-19
- In June 2020 Good Samaritan Foundation carried out sensitization sessions in Abuh community on COVID-19. The dialect and Pidgin English were the main languages of communication about COVID-19 to the people. With the advent of this world’s health scourge – Corona Virus – COVID-19, Good Samaritan Foundation has donated free hand sanitizers to the following churches: Catholic Church Abuh, Full Gospel Church Abuh and the Cameroon Baptist Convention (CBC church) Abuh. GSF targeted the churches because these are some of the places where people often meet once a week for worship especially vulnerable groups like the old people, children and pregnant women. Their churches provided forums where raising awareness about COVID-19 and the distribution of the hand sanitizers was done. These donations were aimed at preventing COVID-19 since Corona virus is not yet present in Abuh village.
