MANYU NEEDS TECHNOLOGY TO CHANGE LIVES
By Assumpta Ayuk
W
hen the National Organization for Manyu Advancement (NOMA) was formed in 2001, its founding
fathers had one vision; to foster collective leadership in the sustainable socio-economic
development of Manyu Division. Thirteen years later NOMA’s Vision still holds true
now more than ever.
In this day and age when an average teenager in the USA has a smartphone, X-BOX 1, PS4, iPad or tablet, and
two computers in their rooms, an African teenager in a computer science class can barely hope for 10-15
minutes at a school computer Lab. When an average expectant mother in the USA has to decide on the
number of 3-D sonogram baby pictures or videos to share on Facebook, an average expectant mother in Africa
considers herself lucky to live and obtain prenatal care within a 100-mile radius of a licensed Ob/GYN or near a
clinic with a functioning fetal monitor or at least the appearance of one.
Foreseeing the importance and dependence of modern societies on technology, the Board of Director of NOMA
USA voted and established the NOMA Community Center (NOMA Center). The center located in Mamfe, Manyu-
Division, Cameroon, is a modern structure completed in mid-2013 and is equipped with a business center. The
NOMA Center is an anchor project of NOMA-USA. The objective and goal of building the center as vision by the
NOMA-USA members, is that of a technology center, a hub for long distance learning, medical diagnosis and
consultation.
As Cameroonians in diaspora, and well-wishers from around the US meet in Houston, TX in July 25 and 26th,
2014 for the NOMA Changing Lives Through Technology convention, their goal will be to teach/learn, network,
workshop and raise funds to equip the NOMA Center into an ultra-modern technology center. The funds will
enable the center to operate and function to its full capacity; integrate technology in the life of an average
resident of Mamfe in particular and Manyu Division in general.
Manyu is a division in Southwest Region of Cameroon. Administratively, it is divided into 4 sub-divisions namely,
Mamfe central, Akwaya, Upper Bayang and Eyumojock. Manyu Division covers an area of 9,565 km² larger than
the state of Delaware (6,452 km²). 100,000 of 177,389 according to the 2001 census, live in Mamfe the
capital city. There are less than five computer science teachers/technicians in the four government
secondary/high schools with a combined student population of approximately 4,500. People who own personal
computers can fill only a regular church pew. Life serving medical equipment such as defibrillators and dialysis
machines are a luxury reserve only for those who can afford to travel the 137.8 mile (222km) to Shisong
hospital, Kumbo, the closest city in Southern Cameroon equipped with such technology.
