About

ASSOWWIP is a Non-Governmental Organization, Apolitical and Nonprofit making organization which operates in conformity with prescriptions of article 7 of law Nº 90/053 of 19/12/90 relating to the creation and functioning of Cameroon.

We at the Association for the Wellbeing of Women and Indigenous People (ASOWWIP) are a diverse group of individuals passionate about the elevation and of vulnerable women and girls, most especially with the persistent increase in factors threatening their wellbeing, such as the current outburst of humanitarian crisis plaguing the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon. 

Given that women and girls are the most vulnerable and therefore the more intensely affected by any crisis, be it economic, social, political, religious or otherwise, we focus our energies more on this group, believing that an empowered woman, girl child or indigenous person is the mustard seed of the growth of a nation, and society as a whole.
