Introduction

The Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international Catholic organization and a work of the Society of Jesus. It was founded in 1980 and is found nowadays in about fifty countries. Its mission is to accompany, serve and defend the rights of refugees and forcibly displaced persons.
In 2013, responding to the invitation of the Catholic Church of Cameroon (the Archbishop of Bertoua, Mgr. Joseph Atanga) JRS International decided, through JRS/West Africa, to settle in the country in order to to respond to the situation of Central African refugees in Cameroon, especially the thousands of children and vulnerable people who need protection, psychosocial support and educational support. In 2015, after a series of needs assessments, JRS began to deploy in eastern Cameroon as the apostolic work of the Society of Jesus in Cameroon (COJECAM).
