Exclusive breastfeeding and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), which involves holding the baby skin-to-skin on the motherʼs or other caregiverʼs chest, are high-impact investments that save lives. In 2019, the GFF, Grand Challenges Canada, Fondation Kangourou Cameroun, Social Finance, MaRS Centre for Impact Investing, Nutrition International, and the World Bank, launched a first-of-its-kind development impact bond in Cameroon to scale up KMC in the country and to help newborns survive and thrive..

Cameroon is a very environmentally diverse country. Each region faces its own threats and challenges to the ecosystem. In the Northwest Provence, unsustainable land use practices and overgrazing by nomadic Fulani cow herders have resulted in significant deforestation. Consequently, this has serious implications on the health of the watershed and the fertility of the soil.

I wasn't too sure about Cameroon for some reason, but was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at Mamfé. I couldn't get any money out of the ATM that day, and had been unable to change any currency for the local Central African Franc, but the guy sitting next to my coat, Oroc, who worked at the beer warehouse across the road, bought me a beer.

I spent 4 days in Douala and I only had time to take a few shots during 10-15 min from a moving car. Hope to come back soon, lots of photo opportunities.

Gara Boulai, Eastern Cameroon, 16 April 2015: Fatoumata Pesa, 30, arrived at the transit camp in Gara Boulai in March 2015. “My husband and two of my children were killed at the beginning of the conflict in our hometown, Bughere, in the Central African Republic. I managed to flee with two of my children to Boda. Life there was tough despite the food assistance we received. We were not able to move freely. There still is insecurity and I was scared for my children. Then my brother in law sent me a message that two of my other children have survived and are in Mbili camp. We first went to Bangui, then took on a truck to Cameroon.”

in the local muslim school. The Fulane stem from the Chad and Sudan. They infiltrated Cameroon since the 12th century. They brought Islam to Cameroon. Their semi sedentry lifestyle in which the lifestock of Zebu-cows plays the central role has not been (and is not to date) received well by the farmers of the Extreme North and Northwest regions of Cameroon.
This girl is attending the Muslim school of Misaje, some two km outside of town near a double rock system. The legend goes that one of the rocks at night travels to the nearby river to wash itself.
In Fulani language the girl is called "Nyango'de" which means: the pretty one.
Dear Keen,
Just a quick note to thank you for making such great products. In preparation for a trip to Cameroon, Africa, I was in need of a pair of rugged sandals. Last winter I purchased a pair of your Targhee II mid-rise hiking boots to wear when snowshoeing and they are great. I have lived in Minnesota all my life and have struggled to find the right boots for winter activities. They are either too big and too hot or not warm enough. But your boots are just right. Warm, comfortable, and they fit well in snowshoe bindings. I remember going out one day with a -19 wind chill. Four miles later I returned home with icicles hanging off my beard, a glow on my face and nice, warm toes.
After being so satisfied with the boots, I decided to give your sandals a try and purchased a pair of Newport H2’s. Attached is a photo of my sandals taken after three weeks in Cameroon. The red dirt is the earth of west Africa, a fine clay mix that stains cloths, works it’s way into everything and gets greasy when you add rain. But even in the rain, traction was never a problem for the H2’s. As for the dirt, it can still be seen on the soles after two week at home. They were comfortable both barefoot during the heat of the day or with socks on cool nights. The only change I would suggest is some type of a slotted insole to catch small stones without them grinding into your foot. But with all the openings in the sides it was usually not problem to remove the offender and continue walking.
In short, you have a very satisfied customer. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely
Kelley J.
