Who We Are

Ntankah Village Women C.I.G. is a Cameroon based grassroots self help or common initiative group created in 1996 and registered in 1997. ‘’Ntankah’’ in the local Mankon dialect means “Hill of Light” The women chose this name because they intended to be a beacon or light house for other women groups to lead them from the darkness of marginalization, dependency and underdevelopment to the light of emancipation, mutual support and self confidence of women working hand in hand in progress and development in typical African community spirit.
