About Us

Who we are?

  Goodness and Mercy Missions (GMM) was founded in late 2007 by Teh Francis Yai and Natalie Runyon as a non-profit organization aimed at impacting communities in Cameroon. GMM was formed because there was a great demand of the community’s needs. We discovered that rural communities in Cameroon continue to suffer not so much because of the economic situation of the country but because of the lack of initiatives for individuals to help themselves and come out of their predicament. Also we learnt that there are some disadvantaged in the communities who are physically incapacitated and therefore cannot do anything to help themselves. Also under this category are needy children, orphans and street children. We decided to identify them and help them as much as possible. Another reason GMM was formed was to sensitize, create awareness, and educate the community on vital issues plaguing the wellbeing of the society.

  GMM is a membership organization. The members are the staff and the board that sit periodically to see how things fare in the organization. The various community groups GMM works with are also members of Goodness and Mercy Missions. Goodness and Mercy Missions was formed in response to community demands and not because of any availability of International funding. This latter has come to boost the activities of GMM. We thought we could coach the community with ideas they can use by themselves for their own good as well as lobby for help elsewhere all things being equal.

  The Goodness and Mercy Missions Activities are chiefly carried out in the North and South West Regions of Cameroon, the Anglophone zone.
