Personal Assistant Network (PAN) Project

This project aimed to create an effective network of well-trained personal assistants for persons with disabilities in the North West Region of Cameroon. These Personal Assistants will take on a variety of roles, such as providing transportation, information, and personal care assistance.

This network will allow improved access to services and movement within communities, bringing together all stakeholders, PWD, and CBR volunteers to be trained and be on standby to assist when requested.

The network will promote comprehension among stakeholders of and with persons with disability and assist with reducing duplication and waste of resources. All the actors will be aware of the services each stakeholder provides, where and how, and will form a team to address gaps.

The Project has so far trained 187 Volunteers, 98 Females and 89 Males, who started a good Job in the Communities of the North West Region, even though their work is greatly hampered by the socio-political crisis in the North West Region of Cameroon. The results of their work have significantly improved upon the dignity of  PWDs and only require more resources for the relaunch of the project, whose funds could only support the initiative till November 2020
