Together we go farther

For a thriving and more equitable Grand Sanaga region

Double your impact with corporate matching

Dear friends, thanks to your support, Mbai Bassa Community is now certified to participate in most of the major corporations' gift matching programs in the USA. You can now double your impact and help us accelerate our actions, by leveraging your company gift matching program to double the value of your donation to Mbai Bassa Community. In the rare case Mbai Bassa Community is not yet certified for your company's program, contact our Corporate Referral program. We will diligently work with you to get the certification. We thank all those who have helped us in this process. We are also very grateful to those who are already taking advantage of this opportunity to double their impact.

Another great way you can support our community projects is through business to consumer charity funds such as AmazonSmile, Ebay for charity or Paypal giving fund. Many among you have already setup Mbai Bassa Community as their AmazonSmile charity. Your purchases with AmazonSmile are generating donations to Mbai Bassa Community enough to buy 1 new desk for 2 students every 3 months. Help us increase that to 1 desk for 2 students every month by spreading the word and setting up Mbai Bassa Community as your AmazonSmile charity. The easiest way is to do the setup once on your smart phone Amazon Shopping App. Check here for more information.

You are already making a difference in the field. Thanks to your generosity about 80 students of Ngonga elementary school in Cameroon started the 2021/2022 school year in a safer and cleaner learning environment with 5 renovated classrooms and 40 new desks.

We are grateful of your continued support. Visit our website to learn more about our programs and the many opportunities we offer to contribute in a meaningful way. Join our Bisai Clubs today. Stay in touch by following us on Facebook and Instagram and subscribing to our Youtube channel .

Saying goodbye to a great leader

The Bassa Bati Mpoo community lost a great leader with the passing of Jerome Minlend in June 2021 after a short illness.
As General President of Mbog Liaa, the worldwide network of Bassa Mpoo Bati associations, he was a tireless promoter of the Bassa Bati Mpoo culture and traditions and facilitated the emergence of the Bassa Bati Mpoo art and artists on the world stage.
