People, language, and land
Kejom (Babanki) is a Grassfields community in Cameroon’s North-West Region. Our twin villages—Kedjom Keku (Big Babanki) and Kedjom Ketinguh (Small Babanki)—lie in Tubah Subdivision near Bamenda. The language, often called Babanki by linguists, belongs to the Ring branch of Grassfields languages.
Mission
Mobilize Kejom people and friends to deliver education, health, water, sustainable livelihoods, and cultural vitality.
Values
Transparency, participation, equity, accountability, and respect for tradition and environment.
How we work
Community-owned plans, local contractors, simple budgets, and public reporting of outcomes.
People & places
Our settlements are clustered around fertile highland valleys north-west of Bamenda. Households engage in farming, petty trade, and craftwork, with strong kinship and age-group associations that underpin social life and mutual aid.
We partner with traditional councils, churches, schools, and farmer groups to plan projects and steward assets over time.
Language & culture
Kejom (Babanki) is part of the Ring subgroup of Grassfields languages. Oral history, music, mask societies, and festivals remain central to identity. We work to document stories, support cultural education, and engage youth.
Governance & accountability
Projects are proposed in village meetings, costed transparently, and delivered with public reporting. Committees include women and youth, and diaspora partners are briefed through open summaries and audits.
Partners & diaspora
Our strength comes from collaboration—home associations, diaspora groups, NGOs, and technical allies. We align around practical outcomes and clear roles to reduce overlap and increase impact.
