HEAT-UP REFUGEES AND ORPHANS (HOR)
Cameroon counts 600 000 HIV/AIDS infected persons. Likewise, obnoxious
cultural practices like polygamy, witchcraft and poisoning, coupled with
recent threats related to sectarianism, violence and terrorism, caused
by the Boko-Haram terrorist group has led to a sharp rise and a
geometric escalation of the number of orphans, street children and
Refugees. Because of the above man made calamities, there is an
urgent need for resilience to avert these social ills. That is why we
came up with the Heat-up Orphans and Refugees (HOR) project.

Green Culture
This
project has two aims; firstly, it seeks to revitalize and facelift the
culture of the Ndop people, which is gradually extincting, because the
biotope and the habitat which harboured this culture in the past is
vanishing. This project seeks to make the youths to love and trust their
culture, in this same light, it seeks to deter illegal migration of
youths, by putting some degree of trust in them. It aims at promoting
cultural practices. Secondly, this project is a green project, one that
targets sustainable development, a project that fights against climate
change by planting trees. It is a cultural project at the local level
that shall have a global impact in the long run. The project aims at
increasing the total surface area of forests to their initial
situations, as well as exponentially increase the number of sacred
forests.
OUTCOME: Planting of 15000 trees around sacred forests
