The tribes, clans, and villages whose sons and daughters make CCASNJ what it is.
CCASNJ brings together Cameroonians from many tribes, clans, and villages across Southern New Jersey. These are some of the communities most present in our association — and the list keeps growing.
Northwest Region, Cameroon
The Pinyin clan forms the largest Cameroonian community group in New Jersey. Hailing from the Northwest Region of Cameroon, its sons and daughters are a driving force behind CCASNJ's work.
West Region, Cameroon
The Bamiléké are one of Cameroon's largest ethnic groups, originating from the West Region. Their rich cultural traditions and strong community spirit shine through in everything CCASNJ does.
Northwest Region, Cameroon
Akum is a village in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. Its people are proudly represented in the CCASNJ family.
Pinyin Clan, Northwest Region
CCASNJ's Pinyin sons and daughters in the USA supported farmers back home through PICDECOS, the Pinyin Clan Development Cooperative Society. The support boosts agro-pastoral income-generating activities, improves livelihoods, empowers farmers and families, and strengthens sustainable community development — living their motto: "From the soil we grow." The farmers answered with a message of gratitude.

Oron community
The women of GT Oron run a thriving vegetable farm — planting, tending, and harvesting the fresh greens that feed their families and power a brand-new community project. They are heading back to the farm to film it, with more photos and video on the way.
Assisting displaced people & refugees
Global Takumbeng (GT) assists displaced people and refugees. In Adagom, GT women bought a bag of groundnut seeds for planting — and used the rest to buy medication for a sick elderly woman. In Mpat Enin, GT women bought farm tools, and in Esit Eket the GT women's watermelon harvest is selling. At the end, she thanked the donors.
