Goodness And Mercy Missions

Goodness and Mercy Missions (GMM) was founded in 2007 by Teh Francis Yai as a non-profit organization aimed at impacting rural communities in Cameroon. GMM was formed to address the community need in the area of child education, maternal and child health, poverty alleviation and women empowerment. We discovered that rural communities in Cameroon continue to suffer not so much because of the economic situation of the country but because of the lack of initiatives for individuals to help themselves and come out of their predicament. Also we learnt that there are some disadvantaged in the communities who are physically incapacitated and therefore cannot do anything to help themselves. Also under this category are needy children, orphans and street children. We decided to identify them and help them as much as possible. Another reason GMM was formed was to sensitize, create awareness, and educate the community on vital issues plaguing the wellbeing of the society. In 2016, Teh Francis created the Enkindle Cameroon Project (www.ekcameroon.org) while training at the BWB- Kanthari training institute in India. Enkindle Cameroon focuses on providing hands on business training to rural people which discovers and ignites their passions. It also shifts from sponsoring only orphan and needy children but to brilliant children with potentials who may not have the opportunity to advance in their academic pursuits.
