The mission of NKUMU FED FED is to promote social and economic development through the empowerment of women, the girl child and vulnerable persons of rural communities.

Our Purpose

NKUMU FED FED is a non-governmental, apolitical, and non-profit networking organization that brings together female associations dedicated to fostering development by empowering girls and women in rural communities.

Originally established in 1984 as a social group of Bali Nyonga sisters in Limbe, known as Fed Fed, the organization expanded to other towns across the country. In 1995, an umbrella body, NKUMU FED FED, was formed to oversee and coordinate the activities of various Fed Fed branches. Today, NKUMU FED FED comprises 15 branches—seven in Cameroon and eight in the diaspora.
