Helps International (HINT) is a community development NGO situated in Buea, Cameroon whose mission is to improve the social and economic well-being and health of the poor and under privileged in our society through education, skill development and job creation. We seek to accomplish this mission in the communities in which we work through four main areas which include access and training on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), enabling poor children to still have a good education, improving the health of the poor and helping to reduce the spread of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, empowering poor adults through micro credits and training, and helping with community development projects such as clean drinking water and electricity.
Our objectives are as follows:
- To fight poverty and unemployment by providing marketable skills in ICTs, agriculture, and business set-up & management.
- To provide low-interest loans to the poor for business start-ups, thereby reducing poverty.
- To improve on the health condition of the underprivileged poor by offering medical care and suppliers through our Community Health Centre.
- To contribute to the fight against the rampant transmission of HIV/AIDS and other STIs through education and development of self-reliant projects for jobless adults, and vulnerable youths.
- To provide education, health care, clothing, and feeding assistance to orphans, street children and very poor children from subsistence farming homes.
- To contribute to community development through clean water and solar electrification.
- To offer emergency relief to victims of natural and/or man-made disasters when need arises.
- To HELP anyone in need whenever we have the resources to.
