Political turmoil in neighboring Central African Republic (CAR) has displaced thousands of Fulbe men, women and children throughout eastern Cameroon.  Their nomadic lifestyles and large
cattle herds make them easy targets for bandits and rebels, who will steal, kidnap and kill.  Many Fulbe families have sought refuge in existing villages in Cameroon where they have ties to family
and friends.  This has put great strain on the village's resources and created a dire need for physical and spiritual assistance.
