About CAMOLA
CAMOLA is a non-profit organization, dedicated to a partnership with the City of Lowell to bridge the cultural gap and build a strong Cameroonian/African community; as well as give back/improve the basic welfare of the less fortunate in rural Cameroon. CAMOLA is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any donations you make towards one of our causes, are greatly appreciated, are tax deductible and go to help many.
Membership to CAMOLA is on a voluntary basis and is open to Cameroonians by birth or affiliation. CAMOLA is run by a president and his or her staff elected into office by members – a board of directors (also) voted-in by members is the general governing body of CAMOLA.
We meet once a month, on the 1st Saturday. However, if this day falls on a major holiday weekend, then the meeting is moved to the following Saturday. We welcome you to attend one of our meetings.

– Provide moral and financial support within our immigrant community, as well as make charitable contributions to support various needs-based services in our US home and back in our country of origin, Cameroon.
