Appreciation Post: Likombe-Buea First Aid Day ๐โค๏ธ
Yesterday we wrapped up the first edition of the Asaba health foundation First Aid project in Likombe Village, Buea Subdivision โ and my heart is full.
The Mission
At Asaba Health Foundation, our mission is simple: โKnow First Aid, Be the Difference Tomorrow.โ
Medical emergencies like severe bleeding, burns, choking, snake bites and accidents happen daily in rural communities where hospitals are far.
Likombe Village faces that reality. So we launched this pilot to build local emergency response capacity, right where itโs needed most.
What We Achieved
1. 20 community first responders trained teachers, health centre personnel, quarter heads, bike riders, market women & youth leaders now equipped with life-saving skills in bleeding control, CPR, burns, choking, recovery position & snake bites.
2. 08 community first aid kits donated to strategic locations across Likombe and Bwassa villages.
3. 1,200+ residents reached through practical demonstrations & awareness sessions at Likombe Primary School.
4. A new network created - trainees are now connected via WhatsApp for follow-up, refill guides, and refresher sessions, with Likombe Health Centre supporting sustainability.
Thank You
This was only possible through true community spirit.
My deepest gratitude to His Royal Highness Chief Luma and the Likombe Traditional Authority for the royal blessing and support.
To Eddy Property Management and Realty our official parter, thank you for believing in this vision and standing with us.
To my Asaba Health Foundation team and the dedicated members of the community who gave their time, energy and resources, you made this happen.
To the 20 trainees for your focus and commitment during training.
And to the entire Likombe and Bwassa villagers - thank you for the warm welcome, your participation, and for trusting us to serve you.

Why This Matters
This project showed me one thing: when you put skills and basic tools in the hands of a community, you donโt just save lives - you build resilience. Imagine if every village in Cameroon had 20 trained first responders and accessible first aid kits. Response time drops. Panic reduces. Lives are saved before an ambulance even arrives.
Thatโs why itโs critical we support more initiatives like this. Rural communities deserve the same chance at survival as urban centers. Investing in grassroots health preparedness is investing in families, in schools, in the future.
To everyone who partnered, donated, showed up, or prayed for us - this win belongs to you. Next stop: more villages.
Partner with us for the next village!
