Women's Walking for Health

2014 Commissioned by Reignite Action for Development UK| Bambui, NorthWest Region, Cameroon

Creating viable Opportunities for the Community, Promoting Cultural & Natural Resources Reducing Environmental issues.

The planned site to be visited was the Shrine “Nifeh Tahmuehfor” (Father of Fon’s Mother) waterfall. The gods are not omnipresent, they are found in springs, waterfalls, and pools of water, thick forests caves and echoing rocks.As previously stated, sanctuaries are also places of worship, however, sacrifices are not offered there, but they are still places of reverence. Activities are forbidden there except with the permission of the Fon(King) as chief priest.

Until this day, no one (man, Woman, youth) from the village never had visited a shrine.

This simple walking for Health represents an effort from the Local Traditional Authorities to change the Future.

Promoted by the Eco-Tourism centre was creating a program of information about Environmental sustainability, flora, fauna, cultural heritage, Cultural integrity of local people, Recycling, energy efficiency and water conservation, Creation of economic opportunities for local communities.
