MSOH Through the Years

1990s

Missions to eastern Cameroon began, led by Rev. Charles Sagay. A people who had never heard of Jesus and who were greatly in need were found. They were called the Baka.

2003

The Mission School of Hope was founded in eastern Cameroon, serving as the “torch bearer” of the Baka community. An emphasis was put on feeding the children who attended, as access to food for the Baka was a challenge. 

2006

Birth certificates were established for all children of the Mission School of Hope, as the Baka tribe previously was unable to obtain them for their children. Without a birth certificate, children cannot attend school.

2011

A well is established on the Mission School of Hope campus, bringing fresh water to the Baka tribe. Before this, water was extremely difficult to obtain, with women often walking hours to and from the source.

2012

The medical clinic at MSOH opens its doors, which allows for registered births and has greatly reduced the mortality rate among pregnant women

2018

MSOH’s second location, the Owens Family Campus, opens to allow for more students

The Mission School of Hope is a ministry serving, educating, and preaching the gospel to the Baka Tribe of Cameroon, Africa.

For many children who attend the Mission School of Hope, they are the first in their families to go to school.

A free education is only the beginning

  • Feeding students

    We provide free breakfast and lunch to all of our students every school day. Reducing hunger in school has helped many children to study and remain attentive in school. Our school plays a vital role in feeding our community.

  • School Supplies

    Because of your love and support, we are able to provide all educational materials– including textbooks, writing utensils, and paper to our students.

  • Clothing

    Not every child has the necessary clothing to attend school, so we provide each student with a clean uniform so have one less thing to worry about.

  • COVID-19 Response

    We have been working relentlessly to fight the spread of COVID-19 since the first cases were detected and announced by the Ministry of Health. From administering vaccines to training volunteers to help– we’ve been educating and saving lives.

  • Combatting Malaria

    11 million cases of malaria were recorded in Cameroon in 2020 and more than 11,000 deaths, 60% of which were children. We distribute mosquito nets and provide information about malaria prevention in the community– recruiting volunteers if needed.

  • Health Care

    From treating children with skin diseases and worms to educating mothers on basic childcare, the Mission School provides help to the entire community. We play a vital role in health care and information in our community.
