About the Foundation

The Daddy Ndong International Humanitarian Foundation (DANIHF), founded by Cameroonian born US Citizen Ndong Elias-Ivor Wright; is a Non-Profit Organization dedicated to humanitarian and philanthropic efforts. DANIHF was created in 2016 just immediately after the outbreak of the sociopolitical crisis in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon. During the early days of the sociopolitical tensions, there was need for humanitarian intervention as many of our parents, brothers, sisters, children and friends ran their homes and took refuge in the bushes mostly in the interiors of some villages. The Founder as a Journalist then in Buea South West Region of Cameroon, with the little he had as salary at the time sacrificed it to constantly wave aside the the insecurities around those villages and will visit the bushes around kwakwa, Teke, Miamu, Muyuka, Ekona, etc to offer them some basics like toiletries foodstuffs and health care assistance just to assure them that they haven't been abandoned in the bushes.

In 2018, the founder left Cameroon in the heat of the crises and took up residence in the USA. From here he kept on sending volunteers with some to go see how those in the buses were faring. The Founder Ndong Elias-Ivor eventually send these volunteers with some financial assistance to them. In 2020, he visited home and discovered that most of those who where in the bushes had relocated back to their villages or had taken residence in other towns thereby becoming IDPs and he was very happy to noticed that but the suffering was far from over as they met with different challenges. He met with some few individuals and hatched the idea of creating a humanitarian organization to cater more on our people who have become so vulnerable because of the Coronavirus pandemic at the time and the ongoing conflict that was ravaging souls in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon with many displaced without food nor shelter.

Upon arrival back to the USA from Cameroon after a brief visit again on some towns affected by the ongoing sociopolitical crisis in the North and South West Regions and seeing the urgent need to come to the aids of the those innocent masses affected by the crisis, he gave instructions for the legalization of the Organization which became known as the Daddy Ndong International Humanitarian Foundation (DANIHF). The Daddy Ndong International Humanitarian Foundation (DANIHF) thus became a Cameroonian non-profit making, non-sectarian and apolitical Organization founded in 2016 by Mr Ndong Elias-Ivor Wright (then a Journalist working in Buea; South West Region of Cameroon) and officially recognized on September 24, 2020, as a non-profit NGO by Law No: 90/053 of 12/19/1990 governing Associations in Cameroon with authorization No: 1117G37C84 Vol. 1/SASC of September 24, 2020 with Headquarters in Buea, South West Region of Cameroon and at the moment have branches in the USA, France, Nigeria, Togo, Zambia, and in Cameroon; DANIHF is blessed with 4 Regional Offices based in the South West, North West, Littoral and Centre Regions with Regional Coordinators as Heads with the tasks of identifying where there are dare needs of humanitarian assistance and implementing the goals and objectives of DANIHF.
