A Cameroonian heritage project is raising support for a physical and digital museum dedicated to the Balengou people.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The homepage organizes the museum campaign around three stated pillars—preserving objects and stories, transmitting knowledge to residents and diaspora, and developing local visibility and employment. It routes different audiences toward distinct contribution paths and lists Orange Money, MTN MoMo, card, and bank transfer as payment methods. A seven-space museum plan and the annual Fête du Bois provide the project with specific institutional and cultural anchors, although the campaign counters shown on the page do not agree with one another.
