SACOD was created within the framework of the 1990 law on freedom of associations in Cameroon. It started in 2015 and became legalized in 2017. SACOD was founded by a group of young people from diversed professional backgrounds who were keen on certain issues affecting society such as health especially HIV / AIDs, Malaria and Water borne diseases including its management, SRHR, environmental protection, agriculture and livestock management, education, human rights and governance. These young persons were concerned about the plight of persons in hard to reach areas who could not access adequate and quality lifesaving and social services. This organization was thus born to respond to challenges of the very rural areas such as Misaje, Ako and Nwa in Donga –Mantung, Benakuma, Fongom and Furu-Awa in Menchum and Njikwa and Ngie in Momo division.

These young persons started paying attention to the needs of vulnerable persons in these communities and tried hard to negotiate access in the face of the ongoing arm conflicts in the English speaking regions of Cameroon through the use of community focal persons.

Various assessments were conducted to ascertain the needs of these vulnerable populations that were trapped and deprived from basic facilities. Today these populations have had a sigh of relieve with minimal service delivery though still grossly inadequate.
