Ba Mbonbani,
On April 25th 2008, the population of Naka Village in the Bali Nyonga Subdivision will be launching a Special Fund Raising for the electrification of the Village. This call for support comes in the wake of recent development projects in Bali Nyonga as a whole, an initiative fueled by the World Bank Sponsored project through an NGO called GP DERUDEP. However for any village to benefit from the grant, they must in addition of the submission of a viable project, contribute 10% of the value of the project. We of Naka have already contributed 1.300,000 FCFA and wish to raise this amount to 3,000,000 frs in order to electrify the entire Naka Village. The estimated value of our project is 30,000,000 frs CFA. For our project to be accepted, we need the sum of 1,700,000 FCFA to make up the difference. It is in this light that we are calling on all the sons and daughters of Bali Nyonga as well as friends and sympathisers to come to our support. Naka village is one of the only villages in the Bali Nyonga Subdivision without electricity, portable water and health care facilities. The entire village with a population of about 3,500 people is made up of the following quarters: Ngwatkan, Titam (Mile 88 ), Mali (Mile 86) and Nsang (Mile 8). Naka is only about 5 Minutes drive from Bamenda and 8 minutes drive from Ntafoang-Bali, yet it is one of the least developed in the area. Despite the tarred road that passes through Naka, it has not caught the eyes of people to invest or build beautiful houses in this area because of lack of basic necessities. Naka is the most strategic village in the whole of Bali subdivisions for the following reasons:1. It is the gateway to the Bali Nyonga subdivision. You can not enter Bali without passing through Naka except through Mbengwi or Mamfe. 2. As a border village that has witnessed invasion in the past from neibouring villages like Chomba, more people need to live in this area as soon as possible. More people can only do so with the presence of electricity, portable water and health facilities. 3. Naka is a major farming area that produces most of the food that feeds the population of Bali and Bamenda, yet it is paid the least attention. You need to see the number of people that leaves from Bamenda to Naka everyday to carry out farming. However serious agricultural projects cannot take place in this village because of the absence of electricity. Naka has the largest portion of fertile soil in the Bali Nyonga subdivision and could provide a source of wealth to many. 4. Living in Naka, is like Living in Bamenda. It takes less time to leave Naka to Bamenda, than it takes to live Nkwen or the Station Hill to Bamenda. Developing Naka will mean bridging the gap between Bali and Bamenda. In order to earn a division in Bali, small strategic villages like Naka need to be empowered and endowered with basic facilities. Uplifting this area may significantly contribute to the granting of a subdivision in Bali Nyonga. It is within this framework of social development, that the people of Naka are soliciting your assistance for Fund Raising. Your generous donation, in cash or Kind will be highly welcome. What ever you contribute, God will refill your pockets tenfold. Ba Tadoh FomantumOn Behalf of the Naka Community
