✝️ Our Foundation

A gospel-centred ministry serving orphans and widows

COHEC is first and foremost a ministry of the Church — rooted in the heart of Christ for the vulnerable. We are based in Yaoundé, Cameroon, and our work reaches communities across the city and beyond, from school-bag distributions to orphanage visits and relief outreach.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” — James 1:27
