Breaking the Silence - Cameroon

If you don’t read about it in the news, did it really happen? Every year, humanitarian crises affect millions of people around the world. From natural disasters to conflict and displacement, some crises make headlines, some don’t.
Tthe Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom teamed up with the aid organization CARE.
CARE’s annual report “Breaking the Silence” highlights the ten most underreported crises of the past year. Together we shine a spotlight on each crisis, giving room for discussion and hearing from experts about challenges, opportunities, and the resilience of affected communities in each country.

Cameroon has been hit repeatedly by humanitarian crises over the past decade. This has been compounded by natural disasters, diseases such as cholera and, more recently, the economic impact of the COVID 19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. 3.9 million people are in need of emergency humanitarian assistance - or about 14 percent of the population.

CARE was founded in 1945 to support post-war Europe with the famous CARE packages. Today, the independent aid organization works in over 100 countries to provide humanitarian aid and fight poverty with a focus on empowering women and girls.
