Our History
KAGEDEV entstand 2009 aus dem Willen einiger Kameruner, damals noch Studenten an deutschen Universitäten, die mit vielen Problemen in einem ihnen noch unbekannten Ökosystem konfrontiert waren, die Zusammenhänge der Solidarität in ihrer Gemeinschaft neu zu überdenken. Also beschlossen sie, eine Austauschgruppe auf der Facebook-Plattform zu gründen und so Tausenden von Kamerunern, die auf der gleichen Plattform verfügbar sind, die Möglichkeit zu geben, der Gruppe beizutreten und ihre jeweiligen Probleme zu stellen.
Due to the great success of the Facebook group, an association called German Kmers e.V. was founded in the city of Mannheim, Germany.
The increasing investment of local actors in the projects, the potential for change they represent for Cameroonians and their expectations lead the organization kmers d'Allemagne e.V. to gather its board to put on the table of debate a series of proposals aimed at increasing the actions of the organization. This great debate ends with a disagreement among the board members, but also with a radical change of course.
As a result of this disagreement, the organization will be dissolved in March 2019.
The founding members of the organization Kmers d'Allemagne e.V. have decided to continue their aid and support work by founding a new organization in June 2019 under the name KAGEDEV.
This new organization decides to launch aid projects and focus all its action on education, training, health and culture: A partnership of capabilities aimed at improving the living conditions of Cameroonians.
Eine Landesvertretung der Organisation wird in Yaoundé, Kamerun gegründet.
