Welcome to WICUDA-USA

A Home for the Wimbum Diaspora, and a Lifeline for Mbumland

At WICUDA-USA, we pride ourselves in carrying out projects aimed at improving the Mbum community in Donga-Mantung Division, Cameroon, West Africa — while keeping our language, our protocol and our traditions alive in the homes of every Wimbum family in America.

Founded in 2003, WICUDA-USA has over twenty years of experience conceiving and implementing projects in Mbumland — among them the Water Wells Project, the Sanitation Project for schools, and the supply of a 40 ft container of medical equipment.

Our Vision

Preserve and promote Wimbum culture, and cultivate discipline and respect for its members.

Our Mission

Enhance unity among Wimbum, build a strong Wimbum community in the United States and throughout the world, and develop Mbum land.

What We Do

Projects That Outlive the People Who Fund Them

Every project is scoped with the village council, budgeted by our Development Committee and handed over to a local committee trained to maintain it.

  • Income-generating cooperatives run by and for women
