BFU-USA: Rebuilding Bui Through Sustaining Impact Programs

In the face of ongoing civil unrest in Cameroon's Anglophone regions, Bui Family Union-USA (BFU-USA) stands as a beacon of hope, transforming lives through education.

Our nonprofit focuses on empowering vulnerable children in Cameroon's Bui Division, where conflict has jeopardized access to quality education. BFU-USA's flagship PATHWAYS program creates supportive learning environments for students whose futures have been disrupted by war.

"We're breaking the cycle of poverty by providing equitable access to education," says Dr. Fred Tabung, BFU-USA's VP of Education and a member of the National Cancer Advisory Board.

Providing Sustainable Education in Bui - Cameroon

As a result of the continuous deepening of the civil war in the North West & South West Regions of Cameroon, resulting in continuous killing of civilians, homes burned, many schools destroyed and others left in ruins, hundreds of thousands people are now either internally displaced or have escaped to Nigeria as refugees, BFU-USA has launched a massive initiative to help families in dire need, with a new focus on educating children of these war victims.

The new initiative, code-named PATHWAYS, is a comprehensive and multi-faceted Education Program designed to unveil impactful educational opportunities that will enable beneficiaries attain their academic goals thereby unlocking their full potentials. It is going to take all of us working together to realize this ambitious mission. The Bui people are counting on all of us to care about their plight, and more importantly, the very survival of their children.
