Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2013 in the subject Social Work, University of Bonn (The Faculty of Protestant Theology), course: Ecumenical Studies, language: English, abstract: In this paper, I will explore the capabilities that Faith-Based Organisations have to change; behaviours, beliefs and the environment, especially regarding care of (elderly) and people with dementia in Cameroon. As far as taking care of the needy and the marginalized is concerned, Faith-Based Organisations in most parts of the world are very instrumental. Reason behind their interest in caring for the needy and marginalized I suggest, is the preservation of human dignity and promotion of well-being which is an idea supported by their different doctrines. FBOs have collaborated with governments, CSOs and CBOs to provide material and immaterial support and services geared towards addressing problems plaguing individual, families and communities, thereby contributing to, and promoting well-being through a change in their behaviours, environment, and beliefs. This social change goes a long way to enhance human dignity, giving people the opportunity to live a better life. FBOs are endowed with spiritual potentials as religious institutions, which give them credibility and legitimacy as an altruistic institution, and makes it easy for them to hire volunteers and win the hearts of donors who donate generously to support their projects, knowing that their donations will be judiciously used. The presence of FBOs in grassroots gives them that advantage of knowing the needs of the people and tailoring their services and projects to address these needs. With all these potentials at their disposal, I will argue that FBOs more than secular organisations, are capable and able to bring social change.
