- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Current RUDEC programs serving the community, such as child sponsorship,
education, and women’s empowerment, are made possible due to the support of
RUDEC donors. However, further needs exist in the community, and current financial
restrictions prohibit RUDEC from initiating projects that could greatly benefit Belo
villagers. RUDEC desires to expand its services in the community to include school
construction, women’s empowerment, water supply, transportation, sanitation and
waste, vocational schooling, and many other projects. Consequently, the Grant
Writer shall seek out and manage grant opportunities including in, but not limited to,
the aforementioned areas. The Grant Writer plays a key role in ensuring the
sustainability and expansion of RUDEC services to the Belo community

Mission Statement
RUDEC Cameroon's mission is to actively seek resources, volunteers and methods to effectively employ these in the community development programs and towards the employment of the underpriviledged residents
Description
The Rural Development Centre (RUDEC) started, as a concept, in the South West Regionof Cameroonin 2001. But it wasn’t until 2005 that RUDEC became a reality in the Boyo Division ofthe Anglophone North West Region. It was subsequently registered in February 2006 as a Common Initiative Group (CIG) with the Government of Cameroon. In December 2011 RUDEC was upgraded and registered as an Association with the Government as a not for profit organization with a wider operational area which enables them to be able to have branches all over the country. The idea for RUDEC first came about as a means to create opportunities for the underprivileged sections of society. The founders realized that by focusing on the needs of rural people, a centre such as RUDEC could empower and benefit local communities.
RUDEC encourages foreign volunteers to come and work together with local staff and members of the community, to try and help achieve their aims and to work towards the vision of the organisation.
