Health Care And Sanitation
Health care is a basic human right. Thus health facilities must be made accessible to all at all times. Through our health centres we endeavour to:

a) Educate our beneficiaries and communities on the need for better health practice through conferences, seminars and workshops
b) Improve access to and use of health facilities by bringing health facilities closer to the people and also providing health care at little or no cost to the people.
c) Provision of portable water to communities to reduce risk of contamination which is one of the major causes of ill health in rural communities in Cameroon as many people drink but water from open streams and some from exposed or badly managed wells.
d) Provision of portable water to communities to reduce risk of contamination
e) Educate the people on prevention of common diseases and birth control methods

Care, Out reach and assistance
a) Provision of medical assistance and nutrition. From the beginning we used to take them to nearby health Centres or hospitals (depending on the area). As from December 2016, CANU wishes to run Health Centres in areas where these are lacking and need is high. This is aimed to provide access to medical assistance especially to the underprivileged population.
b) Provision of basic needs (clothing, comfort, etc.). Whenever there is a possibility, we do everything possible to provide some basic necessities to the underprivileged population especially the aged, children and youths in need.
c) Formation of sharing Groups
d)Training of youths mostly female who have dropped from school on managerial capabilities to start and run small projects to help themselves.
e) Assistance (material or financial) to kick start small scale businesses for those we have trained.

End of Year visit to the Aged in Bafut

The end of year visit to the aged was a very rich experience. At first some of us had insisted on bringing them together despite the fact that those in the field made us to understand that it was not possible. When we could not convince them to gahter these our lovely people together, we had no other choice than to meet them. Since the gifts we had could not rich everyone in the group, we had to choose those who were most in need of our token. To the others, we offered nothing but a smile as many have not received a visitor for a long time except the usual neighbours who interact with them on daily basis. During the visit we observed the following:
1. Many of our aged people go for days and even weeks with no one to say hi to them but for the good will neighbours.
2. About 90-95% of them suffer from lack of calcium and magnessium, which has caused them to be indoors even when they could still move around to do one thing or the other.
3. About 80% of them lack proper care as they are now a burden to their caregivers. From the look of things, 75% of caregivers find it difficult to love their work-taking care of the aged because of lack of proper means to offer all they need at this age.
4. About 10% of those we visited had no one to care for them. This was due to two main reasons.
(i) All their children were dead and none left to offer the care they needed.
(ii) their only living children were far away with no financial backings to hire someone else to take care of their aged ones
5. At least 90% of them go for months and at times almost throughout the years without basic items neccessary for their living. We met about 70% in the kitchen as their bed rooms with only bamboo beds and a few clothes thrown over the beds to serve as mattresses. Their coverings were fire which was being set to keep the room warm. They need our help.
