Villa Bambouti Resource centre is in Bertoua, in the East of Cameroon and has been built by Patrick Mballa, two friends and a team of young people from the local town.
Mosame Trust has been set up to take in AIDS orphans and address the causes by providing them with Foster parents, education and health care. We also give support to the community of Bertoua and the surrounding villages in caring for the abandoned children by developing farming and marketing initiatives.
