CAS-UK Mission Statement
CAS UK, (Cameroonian Solidarity) was set up, by some members of the Cameroonian community in the United Kingdom.
The main purpose of this group is to make sure that remains of our love ones are returned to Cameroon. The return of the remains of our love ones to our native land can be view as a moral requirement.
In recent months, the Cameroon community of the United Kingdom has been bereaved by a succession of deaths. We have seen an increasing number of impromptu deaths across all age groups.
Every time a member of the Cameroonian community had passed away in UK, there had been a surge of solidarity, this solidarity had often been spontaneous. Without any sustained organisation and orientation. Organising the community response to face up this challenge is the ultimate aim of CAS-UK
The objective of CAS UK is to organise this solidarity and make it more effective every time a member of the Cameroonian community passes away in UK.
Each compatriot is called upon to contribute a small amount, which makes it possible to organise the repatriation of his/her remains to Cameroon.
CAS UK intends to establish a database of a minimum of 2000 members from the Cameroonian community in UK.
Our aim is to contribute up to £10,000 each time we lost one of our own.
The challenge is to reach the number of 5,000 members, which could reduce contributions to as low as £2 per adult member and about £0.20 per child.
Transparency is the key at CAS-UK.
Contributions are made through a collection site, which is attached to a PayPal account. At the end of the collection, this amount is immediately unblocked and transferred to the Next of Kin. Contributions can be viewed publicly as it is happening, members can see in real time the amount being contributed by others.
CAS-UK has pledged to do whatever possible and necessary to mobilise the Cameroonian’s Community in UK with the aim of sending back to Cameroon the remains of any member who passes away.
