Mrs. Baye Linda Kongla
(Founder, OSUDER)
Organization for Sustainable Development and Relief, abbreviated OSUDER, is a National development organization founded by a group of concerned Cameroonians to alleviate the situation of vulnerable groups. It is a non-profit, apolitical organization without distinction of race, tribe, sex, and religion. We are more involved in assisting the poor and IDPs while utilizing natural relief to survive [agriculture]. We provide homes to IDPs/orphans; organize capacity-building workshops and trainings. All these are aimed at developing potentials in youths, enhancing capacity and mental well-being, and eventually achieving a sustainable community.
Our Purpose/Goals
OSUDER exists is to promote and support sustainable development, in order to foster the empowerment of marginalized vulnerable groups and communities especially youths, women and children.
Promote Sustainable Development
OSUDER champions sustainable development as a cornerstone for creating resilient and thriving communities. By addressing economic, social, and environmental challenges, OSUDER promotes practices that balance the needs of today with the sustainability of future generations. Initiatives focus on enhancing agricultural productivity, promoting renewable energy, and encouraging eco-friendly technologies. Through capacity-building programs, OSUDER equips local communities with the knowledge and tools to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives. Partnerships with local stakeholders ensure that development projects align with community needs and aspirations, fostering ownership and long-term impact. From reforestation projects to waste management campaigns, OSUDER is committed to environmental preservation while driving economic growth. The organization also advocates for policies that support sustainable development and partners with international agencies to implement scalable solutions. OSUDER’s mission is to create self-reliant communities where resources are used responsibly, ensuring a better quality of life for vulnerable populations while safeguarding the planet.
Foster Community Empowerment
At OSUDER, fostering community empowerment is about enabling marginalized groups to take charge of their own development. The organization believes in the transformative power of grassroots action and works to build capacity at the local level. Through workshops, training programs, and mentorship, OSUDER equips individuals with skills that enhance their livelihoods and promote self-reliance. The organization prioritizes inclusive participation, ensuring that all voices, especially those of youths, women, and marginalized groups, are heard and respected in decision-making processes. Community-driven projects such as cooperative farming, microfinance initiatives, and vocational training programs address specific local challenges while creating opportunities for economic growth. OSUDER also promotes social cohesion by facilitating dialogue and collaboration among diverse groups within communities. By fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose, the organization empowers communities to overcome adversity, reduce poverty, and improve overall well-being. Empowerment at OSUDER means creating environments where people have the resources and agency to build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
Cater For Youths, Women & Children
OSUDER prioritizes the needs of youths, women, and children as key pillars of its mission. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by these vulnerable groups, the organization implements targeted programs to ensure their inclusion and empowerment. For youths, OSUDER offers vocational training, entrepreneurship workshops, and leadership development programs, equipping them with the skills to become active contributors to their communities. Women are supported through initiatives that promote gender equality, such as microfinance opportunities, advocacy for rights, and skill-building programs tailored to foster economic independence. For children, OSUDER focuses on access to quality education, healthcare, and nutrition to secure a strong foundation for their future. The organization also provides psychosocial support to children affected by conflict or displacement. Across all its programs, OSUDER works to dismantle systemic barriers that hinder the progress of these groups, advocating for policies that protect their rights and well-being.
