Our History
In 2001, under the leadership of Mrs. ALEOKOL, born DADE KAOLE Berthe, the indigenous peoples of the Messok District experienced a significant improvement in their living conditions..
Previously relegated to agricultural work due to their cheap labor and sometimes victims of abuse by the Bantus, they found in her a protector who fought tirelessly for the defense of their interests and the promotion of their cultures and heritage, treating them with love, kindness, and respect. This support covered all areas of their lives, leading them to the ceremony of wishes addressed to the First Lady of Cameroon, as well as through multiple training sessions and participation in municipal activities alongside their Bantu brothers. From this journey, we retain certain historical markers..
