Founded in 2022 by Yannick Um Gwet and Therese-Alphonse NGO UM, the Um Gwet House of Hope was established to make thriving easier for individuals facing hardships in communities across Cameroon.
After starting out by providing supplies to children in orphanages, the organization has expanded to supporting women and the elderly.
Since then, the House has expanded from the “Les Oeuvres Malika” Orphanage helping 13 kids aged 2 to 15 years old, to several others located in the capital, Yaounde.
Across Cameroon, many individuals face challenges such as no access to the basic necessities of life, the opportunity for education, and the healthcare they need to thrive.
At Um Gwet House of Hope, we believe every child, expectant mother, and elder should feel the warmth of holiday cheer, knowing they’re not alone. But we need your help to make this vision a reality!
