Dikome Balue Development and Cultural Organization (DIDECO) was founded in the heart of the Dikome Balue community in the Southwest region of Cameroon. From its inception, DIDECO has been driven by a vision of fostering unity, progress, and cultural preservation among our people.
Initially focusing on addressing pressing community needs, DIDECO embarked on a series of initiatives aimed at improving education, healthcare, infrastructure, and cultural revitalization within the Dikome Balue community.
As DIDECO’s impact grew, the organization recognized the importance of establishing a global presence to better serve the Dikome Balue diaspora. Thus, DIDECO North America emerged as a dedicated branch, committed to supporting community members residing in North America.
DIDECO North America upholds the same principles and values as its parent organization, working tirelessly to connect, empower, and advocate for the interests of the Dikome Balue diaspora across the continent.
Today, DIDECO and its North American branch work hand in hand, leveraging their collective resources, expertise, and passion to address the evolving needs of the Dikome Balue community. Together, we continue to write the next chapter in our shared history, defined by resilience, solidarity, and a steadfast commitment to building a brighter future.
We envision a future where every member of our community has access to opportunities for growth, empowerment, and meaningful engagement, both in North America and back home in Cameroon.
Our mission is to serve as a catalyst for positive change within the Dikome Balue community, empowering individuals, fostering unity, and advocating for the collective interests of our people.
Our core values of Cultural Preservation, Collaboration, Inclusivity, Transparency & Accountability guide our actions, decisions, and interactions as we work towards realizing our vision and fulfilling our mission.
