Often times on the agenda of the meeting, members will have a rotative financial contribution ” Njangi” among themselves . This made the group members to be more committee and stay together. Consequently , the group became very successful operating for 2 years .

However, with the proceeds from group earnings and members contributions; The group purchased a piece of land at 1.800.000 FCFA ( Paid in 3 installments ) in Mforya Bafut precisely at Mboumki, outside Bamenda III Sub Division where it was initially holding her meetings as the operating head office.This land was name Head Office land in 2014 when it was purchased .
