About This Cause
Reach Out was born during the widespread HIV epidemic in the South-West, to serve rural communities which were left unattended. The organisation supports underprivileged groups especially youth and women through a community-centered approach and advocacy. Today, the organization has grown to have more than 70 staff organized under three programmatic pillars: Health, Human Rights and Wealth Creation in the South-West and North-West Regions of Cameroon. Activities: I. Health: Provision of primary healthcare, awareness-raising, Water, Hygiene, and Sanitation (WASH) and health stakeholder strengthening. REO’s main core focus issues are HIV, Sexual Reproductive Health, Malaria, Diarrhea, tuberculosis, respiratory infections and COVID-19. II. Human Rights and Governance: Institutional Strengthening, Protection monitoring, human rights education, and case management for children and survivors of violence, peace-building and conflict prevention, gender equality and women empowerment using advocacy and capacity building. III. Wealth Creation: Poverty graduation programs, entrepreneurship promotion, microfinance and provides capacity building for improved agricultural outputs. The focus of the organization’s activities are underprivileged people, minority groups, and the extreme poor, with a special focus on women and youth. Most activities focus on hard-to-reach areas. In May 2018 REO was among the first responders to the humanitarian crisis in Anglophone Cameroon, the most neglected humanitarian crisis of the world. REO has provided relief support to more than 450,000 internally displaced persons in Manyu, Meme, Ndian, and Fako between 2018 and 2020.
