Indeed, the VOSH/Southeast clinic, set up at the World Hospital high in the mountains overlooking Bamenda, capital of the Northwest Province, saw an amazing 4,532 patients who came from all corners of the country for eye care.

The volunteers had flown from cities in the United States and Canada, via Europe and then over the rippling endless sands of the Sahara Desert, clearly visible below. Then, descending into the fertile fields and mountains of the Republic of Cameroon, the mission began in earnest. Independent since 1960 and 1961, Cameroon joined together the land and official languages of French and English-speaking populations, now more than 20 million strong, with more than 400 tribal languages.
This was the 3rd VOSH/Southeast mission to Bamenda. Our gracious host was Dr. Valentine Lah, the chief administrator and guiding light of Noah’s Ark in Bamenda…

A Better Tomorrow Begins with a Fulfilled Promise Today
Cameroon, Africa
It is difficult to overstate the importance of our work in Cameroon. The need is real. We recently partnered with Noah's Ark in Cameroon to provide much-needed schoolbooks and uniforms to reinserted victims of child trafficking. We're proud to be able to provide resources to these children who have faced so many challenges. Perhaps the most important thing we provide is hope.
- Additional recent successes in Cameroon include:
- Hosting the VOSH-SE Optometric Clinic in partnership with Noah’s Ark
- Initiating a library program and mentoring program with Noah's Ark
- Delivery of medical and educational materials in Bamenda
- Improvement of local agriculture methods
- Implementation of healthcare awareness campaigns, including targeted Women's Health Initiatives
- Providing basic healthcare training to local community leaders

Zetwal works in collaboration with local care givers to enhance programs within the communities where they live and work. These collaborators are a crucial link between Zetwal, the communities and the ZETWAL SHARING THE JOY program. Our collaborators identify the needs of their communities in relation to time, season, purpose, community and individual goals and make requests for assistance. With properly targeted programs suggested by our collaborators Zetwal has helped people get free medical care, strengthened and enhanced professional goals and educational opportunities, provide clothing, food, laundry products and personal care products. Zetwal believes that providing people with the opportunity to meet their basic daily needs is the basis for building successful starlets. By creating a constellation of vibrant communities we hope to shine the light on the lives and future of the people we are privileged to encounter.
The ZETWAL SHARING THE JOY program in Cameroon has been made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors, collaborators, and the communities that have welcomed Zetwal into their homes.
Zetwal Mission Outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
