Welcome to
The Friends of Women, Environment, and Health.
We are a group of individuals in the United States brought together through our friendship with Ruth Musunu Titi Manyaka of Cameroon in Central Africa. When we learned that Ruth was working with village women, orphans, vulnerable children and families affected by AIDS, we decided to help her and the women who work with her. They had founded, Women, Environment and Health (WEH), a decade ago. So, in 2007, we started Friends of Women, Environment and Health in the United States.

Our FIRST GOALS were to:
1. Purchase a truck for WEH,
2. Provide insurance and gas on an ongoing basis
3. Assist Linfield college in the provision of medical care in January, 2009

Four of our board members, Carol Hosler, David Groff, Sherry Archer, and Barbara Stone, spent January, 2009, in Cameroon working with WEH and Linfield nursing students. As a result, the following new goals have been adopted:
|
Seek regular monthly donations so we can
- Seek regular monthly donations so we can:
- support the cost of gasoline and maintenance for the truck;
- provide funds for periodic distribution of beans//rice/salt etc. to those caring for orphans (the government is no longer providing this support).
- Seek supporters who will pledge to support the education of WEH orphans.
- Continue partnering with Linfield College School of Nursing.
- Support in anyway we can WEH's dream of having
- a center for vocational training
- a guest house for safe and reliable board and room for volunteers and for rental to other groups.

We are proud that our work strongly supports the Millennium Development Goals.
