UNITED ACTION FOR CHILDREN

United Action for Children (UAC) is a Non-Governmental Organization based in Buea, South West Province, Cameroon. UAC is a non-profit, philanthropic, and non-political organization committed to developing a caring society for children and young people. The organization was created in 1996 as a response to concerns about children?s education and development in the South West Province. With the help of local staff and international volunteers, UAC has grown to include a number of exciting programs to assist Buea?s children and their community.
