\r\n Who is CAMAB Women for? <\/span>\r\n <\/h4>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Blind and partially sighted women in Cameroon. Our statutes reserve the presidency for a woman with visual impairment, and require that at least 80% of the board be women at all times.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

\r\n Is CAMAB Women a registered organisation? <\/span>\r\n <\/h4>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Yes. We were registered on 26 November 2021 by the Senior Divisional Officer for Mfoundi, receipt N° 00000647, under law n° 90\/053 of 19 December 1990. It is a state-issued instrument you can verify independently.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n What does the CAMAB Centre do? <\/span>\r\n <\/h4>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

It teaches Braille literacy and handicrafts at Nkolbisson. It exists partly as a safeguarding measure, so that blind women can continue their education without the harassment reported in mainstream centres.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
