Welcome to the Association for Training and Rural Development 

(ATRUD).

 

Changing Lives and Empowering Communities!

Our Vision

Equal opportunities for children, women and other underprivileged groups, economic empowerment, peace, justice and environmental protection.

Our Mission

To support, empower and improve the lives of  children, women and all other vulnerable groups, victimized and in need of protection.

We Focus On 4 Key Sectors

Education for Children

We support children from kindergarten to High School, especially in rural areas, who do not have access to education or can't afford education because of poverty, natural disasters, conflicts and war.

Training for Young Adults

We train teenagers and young adults, especially school dropouts, in skills like IT literacy, Animal farming, Handicrafts, and set them on the path of self-employment and self-development.  

Emergency Intervention

During conflicts, wars, natural and man-made disasters, we provide for internally displaced persons in need of basic necessities like shelter, food, water and medical attention.

Healthcare for the poor

We support and comfort the poor, living in areas with very little medical facilities. We partner with local hospitals and volunteer medical practitioners to handle cases needing hospitalization and sugery. 

ATRUD is an acronym for The Association for Training and Rural Development, a humanitarian organization that works to improve the wellbeing of people living in impoverished communities.

ATRUD is registered as an NGO in Limbe, Cameroon and in Texas, USA.
