About Us

Every Child Deserves a Future – Your Support Can Make That Happen

Agape Self-Sufficiency (ASSUF) is a humanitarian charity organization dedicated to restoring hope and dignity to the victims of the ongoing crisis in Anglophone Cameroon. Since 2018, we have been working tirelessly to provide education, healthcare, and essential support to orphans and vulnerable children who have lost everything due to the conflict.

The Crisis at a Glance

  • Ongoing Conflict: Since 2016, violent clashes between separatist groups and government forces have displaced at least 1.1 million people. (Associated Press Oct 20, 2024)
  • Children Without Education: As of 2019, UNICEF reported over 855,000 children have been forced out of school in the Northwest and Southwest regions due to the war, leaving an entire generation at risk.
  • No Social Safety Net: Unlike many countries, Cameroon lacks a comprehensive social welfare system, leaving these children without the essential care they need to survive and thrive.

Our Mission

Agape Self-Sufficiency was founded to provide urgent relief and long-term support for families left destitute by war. As the crisis deepened, many children became orphans, forcing them out of school and into extreme poverty. We step in where the government does not, giving these children a chance of a brighter future.

What We Do

We have identified over 250 vulnerable children in just 5 villages, yet there are at least 50 more villages in dire need. This is just the tip of the iceberg. With your help, we can expand our reach.

Our support includes

Education

Sponsoring children in primary, secondary, high school, and professional training programs

HealthCare

Sponsoring children in primary, secondary, high school, and professional training programs

Programs

Offering summer school programs to help children catch up on missed education and reintegrate into school

How You Can Help

For just £150, you can change a child’s life by providing:

  • School fees, books, and a uniform
  • Nutritious meals to keep them healthy and focused
  • Access to trauma healing and essential healthcare
Right now, we are supporting only a small fraction of the children in need. With your generosity, we can expand our reach and prevent more children from becoming victims of exploitation, child labor, and crime.
