The LICHA, HSUVI, CHRI and COSSA International detergent trainees have started bearing fruits. A fraction of the trainees mobilised themselves in a group to produce the detergent together, to ensure that they share their acquired knowledge practically in order to avoid making mistakes that can cost them their seed grants. 

               

 

 

Thursday, February 20th 2025, marked the end of the empowerment phase of the BIPMI-Project that began on January 7th 2025.  A total of nine (09) trainees who are all internally displaced visually impaired persons received complete empowerment items and equipment enabling them to start up a small income generating activity on Bleached Water and Local Omo Productions within their respective areas of settlement. 

     

 

 

LICHA through Community Creative Centre for Women and Girls with disabilities donated a wheelchair to Masebeline, 23 years old disable person on her birthday.   Her mother, the main source of mobility for Masebeline described this donation as a timely gesture from LICHA to rescue her from the stress of carrying Masebeline on every occasion on her back given her age. Amongst other major needs such as a bed and matrass, she went further to plead for an economic empowerment that will help her to carter for Masebeline as she is bound to be with Masebeline 24/7. LICHA therefore pleads with Men and Women of goodwill to reach out and empower Masebeline through her caretaker with these major needs ( a bed, matrass and a sustainable income generating business of the sales of foodstuff).  

 

LICHA and her partners in their charitable/ humanitarian gesture empowered ten (10) internally displaced visually impaired persons with skills in detergent production (Bleach water and Omo).  It all started on the 7th of January 2025 with the production of bleach water and the preparation of chemicals for the production of Omo. In the end, 60 litters of bleach water was produced, bottled and share among the participants to penetrate the market in their respective quarters. 

 

 

In continuation of the empowerment process for Omo production, a total of 574 sachets were produced by these internally displaced visually impaired persons. In the end, the omo was distributed to the beneficiaries to go and test the markets as a means of raising funds to use for the seed grant empowerment phase. The empowerment phase shall help them to fend for themselves and their families. 

 

 

 

As  a continuation of the BOOSTCAP Project, COSSA and LICHA empowered these two internally displaced women with poultry farming (table birds rearing) and by acquiring a piece of land and providing seed capital for the cultivation of  organic huckleberry as a means of improving on their livelihood.  Today , they can boost of producing great quantities which has gone a long way to improve their source livelihood.

LICHA joined Hope Social Union for the Visually impaired(HSUVI) by donating white canes and sensitizing the population of the Bamenda III Municipality( motor bike riders, taxi men and passer-by) on the different signs and uses of the white cane to persons with impairments, when and how to offer help to these persons.

Over 50 internally displaced children in the Banjah/Banshee Community in the North West Region of Cameroon benefited from Scholarship donated  by MANFU Group-LICHA. The socio-political crisis that left these children helpless attracted MANFU Group-LICHA who came in to put smiles on the faces of these less privileged children.
