Catholic Relief Services Cameroon

Catholic Relief Services adapts its programming to the changing circumstances of the country and to the needs of the Cameroonian people. Our first programs here began in 1961.

CRS started working in Cameroon primarily to reduce the death rate of children under five. Our work later shifted to improving food supply in the northern regions of the country where there was drought-related hunger. Later, CRS moved to governance, health and HIV programming. Our current focus is on supporting refugees, orphans and vulnerable children and community health, including water and sanitation.
