In line with International laws and humanitarian principles, Bihaph seeks to assist vulnerable persons affected by war and conflict. Over 15.000 displaced persons have been identified in Menchum Division and a lot more displaced through out the national territory. Bihaph seeks to call on all the the plight of these suffering population. For over eight months today this part of the globe has been denied basic access to roads, electricity, telephone net work and other social amenities. These  have increased the rapid rural  exodus en mass The deteriorating and deplorable living conditions imposed by waring fractions on the population is too severe and over bearing. Besides poverty and economic hard ships, the fragile population has to bear the exigencies of losing their livelihood in a senseless war. 

BIHAPH wipes tears and put smiles on the faces the the most affected but then cries out for more support to reach more people in need.

“There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace.”

We aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out, and stay on to support them—long after the TV cameras have gone home.

We help keep them safe, give them an education, and equip them with skills for the future.

We understand children’s needs, respect their rights, and put them at the centre of everything we do. Whether it's helping children access education, rehabilitating ex-child soldiers  or seeking justice for young people detained.

We also work with children and young people to change systems and practices that affect them. We campaign on the root causes of conflict, and we demand that children are at the centre of all humanitarian responses.

Our vital, life-changing work covers four main areas: PROTECTION, EDUCATION, LIVELIHOOD AND ADVOCACY

The year 2018 was a year of so much uncertainties, Unprecedented human casualties, acute human suffering due the crisis in the North and South West Region of Cameroon. Thousands of people were rendered homeless, displaced and experienced unimaginable human suffering. Thousands were killed both by Goverment forces and the non state's armed groups. In the cause of this  cross fire, civilians were caught up  and became victims of a senseless war with so much human and material damages. The most affected of these were children, women and girls. BIHAPH in her mission to provide  humanitarian assistance to vulnerable persons of poor rural communities especially those affected by conflict and wars delivered emergency needs      both food and NFI to the most affected. BIHAHP organised workshops and trainings on effective humanitarian assistance in times of armed conflict in hot zones, BIHAPH provided assistance to children, girls, youths, and women in a bid to curb violent extremism.

 In today's armed conflicts, whether international or intra-state, the vast majority of casualties are now civilians. Increasingly, civilians are victims of deliberate attacks and other serious violations by parties to a conflict – both states and non-state armed groups, despite the existence of strict legal rules intended to spare civilians from the effects of hostilities: the principles of international humanitarian law, of international human rights law and refugee law.
