I. INTRODUCTION

The increasing practice of child trafficking in the world constitutes with no doubt one of the
most cruel attempt to the freedom and the dignity of mankind. This phenomenon as Frans
Roselears, Director of ILO, can say is “in acceptable in all circumstances. Child trafficking
dealing with people already vulnerable is an unacceptable violation of its right to education,
to health, to leisure, to family life, to protection, to all forms of exploitation”.

Child trafficking phenomenon is confirmed in all the continents of the world. In Africa, many
studies commandeered by ILO and UNICEF have helped to put into the lime light the
existence of this shameful activity. Recently child trafficking was discovered in Central
Africa especially in Cameroon. Due to poverty many families encouraged their children to go
to big towns to look for jobs or to have better life so as in turn can take care of the rest of the
family.

Unfortunately, most of the children when out faced unpleasant treatment ranging from child
labour to child trafficking passing through sexual and corporal abuses. These children are
numerous and ILO through IPEC/Lutrena project is trying to bring some practical solutions as
contribution to progressively elimination of this inhuman practice. It is in this light that
Nkumu Fed Fed (NFF) a voluntary agency working as a private social welfare institution
enters into partnership with ILO/Lutrena project to provide victims with necessary support
services which will enable them have decent job and become autonomous in future. This
initiative is very welcomed and timely because Bamenda at 15km from the centre is reputed
as receiving, providing and transit area for child trafficking and child labour.

Among the specific objectives of NFF, the promotion of income generating activities (IGAS)
with the parents of the victims is what will capture our attention. It is to realize this objective
that IDF was contracted by Nkumo FED FED to reinforce parents/guardians of victims on
sustainable management of income generating activities.

The following line will unfold the various stages used by IDF mainly:
Preparatory meeting with data collection
The workshop proper

II. PREPARATORY MEETING

thOn the 25 of May 2005, the meeting started with an opening prayer from one of the parents
at 10 :00am. Ngwan Multipurpose Centre where victims live is situated along the Bali road, 4
km before you reach the Bali village square.

The social expert Mr Djah introduced the center as a multi-purpose center working side by
side with the Ministry of Social Affairs. He announced that, the vision of NFF is to cater for
children who are underprivileged and to see if the parents could get something to do to
continue with the children’s up keep after they leave the center.

Mr Djah then gave the floor to Madam Oussematou Dameni from IDF (Coordinator). She
explained to the parents who were about 33 that she had come to
Know them and for them to know her
Know what they think
BSR YAOUNDE 3ƒ
What activity they do to help themselves, how they do it and what is they opinion as far
as improvement of those activities as far as management is concerned for more
efficiency

The objectives of the preparation was announced as a small meeting to collect information
from some 33 parents or guardians of children who have been victim of child trafficking and
are under rehabilitation in the NFF Center.

It was also said that the information gotten will be analysed and interpreted using Epi Info
2000. The content of the training will come from the results of the Data Analysis.

At this point the Coordinator of IDF told the parents present not to think that the Donor
helping them had a bunch billions but that, it was just a small token to keep them going. She
advised that this should not be misused. This is to enable them generate income to help their
children when they come back from the NFF center. While there, they have learnt various
trades that will help them. So it is left to the parents to utilize the money that will be given
them judiciously to take care of these children and prevent others to follow same track.

Madam Oussematou Dameni explained that, children were a free gift from God and very
precious things. She advised them that, they had to uphold and thank God for the programme
because many children are suffering but nobody to help them. She also told them that, these
children were free to take them or sue them for misuse of these funds. If they do so, they will
be backed by the center.

At this point, the coordinator of Fet Fet center Madame Galega Prudence welcomed the
participants and facilitators and frowned at the issue of time: She said she was reliably
informed that parents did not keep to time. She told them that time is money and waits for no
man (a minute lost cannot be regained).

Furthermore, after this brief talk, Madam Oussematou took the floor again. She introduced
the questionnaire to the parents and informed them that they were not to fill the form but will
give the answer to the IDF team to fill it.

She begged them to give vital, accurate and only true information. She said wrong
information will not yield appropriate results. She gave an example of some one who had
contacted a venereal disease or some disease which was not pleasant to know. Then he went
to the hospital and told the doctor that he had headache which did not help him. This meant
that if they gave wrong information they will be given a wrong answer. So they had to be
conscious in their answers so as to facilitate the task.

It was also advised that parents who came two of them will only answer one questionnaire.
Ma Helen Adin was introduced from Fet Fet Bambili, teacher of CCAST Bambili.

The questionnaires were filled by the IDF team. This activity lasted for over 2 hours as the
parents all went out of the hall and was called one after the other.

st ndA workshop was scheduled to take place on the 1 to 2 of July 2005 where the parents will
be trained on how to manage revenue coming from income generating activities.

The meeting ended at 3:45pm with refreshment.
