On behalf of the Board of Directors, MNCP wishes its donors, supporters, and followers a very Happy New Year. We also take this opportunity to announce that MNCP has been in existence since January 5, 2022. A special acknowledgement goes to the following individuals:

• Mr. Louis Ngwa, for initiating and overseeing the construction of the catchment.

• Ms. Mary-Ann Goode and her daughter, Annie, for creating the first website.

• Ms. Mary McCormick, for bringing together the McCormick and Huffman families to our residence with a large following from our Parish, Saint Gertrude. During that home fundraising event, we had very generous donations from many individuals.

We equally appreciate the Mbelewa volunteers, including Quarter Heads, Elders, Women, and Youth Leaders, who worked tirelessly from digging areas where pipes were laid to the construction of 11 standing pipes.

The water project is a success because of your trust and belief in supporting the lives of a community that has been deprived of a basic human need – potable drinking water. 2026 is a year that will usher in the groundbreaking for the construction of a community center to accommodate the population. Priority will be for women to have a space to display and sell their produce rent-free. We hope that you will continue to support our endeavors.

We wish you blessings of the year and beyond

Happy New Year 2026

Climate change threatens every part of the planet. It’s a global problem that requires global cooperation and we urge you to help the Mbelewa community in the North West Region of Cameroon.

Our mission is to create international awareness around the climate emergency, which has affected the lives of people in the Mbelewa Nkwen Community.

About our community

We are an organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents, travelers, and visitors to the Mbelewa community by providing access to clean water and constructing a community center that benefits all.

Mbelewa is the first fondom of Nkwen and is proud to be the birth quarter of late Fon Ngufor III, yet it lacks basic human needs.

Why now

Mbelewa currently struggles with a clean water supply, which directly impacts the region's poor.

Until 8 years ago, Mbelewa enjoyed potable water from public taps supplied by the Nkwen water scheme, which was in itself sourced through funds contributed by individual households.

Today, the quarter is completely cut off from the Nkwen water scheme, and residents turn to unsafe surface water sources, while others have to move to different quarters in search of the precious liquid.

An idea is born

In 2015 our founder returned to her home village Mbelewa Nkwen.

What she experienced led to this desire to make a lasting impact on her community through these initiatives.

While there are some private supplies of water to the quarter by bike riders, most cannot afford the cost of these deliveries.

In fact, women and children are forced to walk through a difficult path to get water for drinking and other routine jobs.

Because of the non-availability of clean drinking water, the people of Mbelewa are suffering from widespread occurrence of water and sanitation-related diseases.

To worsen the situation, road development activities have destroyed the existing pipeline, which used to supply the quarter in the past.

The People of Mbelewa Nkwen need your help

“I am too old to leave my compound. I depend on my great-granddaughter, who has to travel 3 km to fetch water for us.

In the past, I was able to participate in community meetings at the existing hall.

However, due to the poor roof and infestations, meetings are held outdoors.

The attendance is usually poor if it’s raining, or if the sun is too hot for the older folks.”

— 99-year-old Mia Ngwimetan, the oldest mother of Mbelewa.

(Rest In Peace, Mother). After the launch of MNCP in 2022, she was called to her final resting place that same year.
