Cameroon : We are proud of who we are …
Nestled in Central Africa, Cameroon is a nation of stunning diversity and rich heritage. Covering an area of approximately 475,442 square kilometers, it boasts a varied landscape, from the lush rainforests and coastal plains to the Sahelian regions in the north.
Home to over 27 million people, Cameroon is often referred to as “Africa in miniature” due to its cultural and geographical diversity. The official languages are French and English, reflecting its colonial history, but over 250 indigenous languages thrive within its borders.
Cameroon’s vibrant culture is showcased in its music, dance, and festivals, highlighting the traditions of more than 200 ethnic groups. The country's economy is diverse, with agriculture, oil, and mining playing pivotal roles.
Join us in celebrating Cameroon’s rich heritage and fostering a united community in the Greater Rochester Area .
