Akworsi: Compassion, Collective Endeavour, and Dignity in Farewell In the Bambui language and many tribes across English-speaking Cameroon, Akworsi means Help—a fitting name for a mission born from compassion and a commitment to standing together in times of loss.
Losing a loved one is an unimaginable pain, and for many families, the financial burden that follows only deepens the sorrow. Too often, we have seen families forced to auction cherished properties to cover funeral expenses, disrupting their lives, dividing loved ones, and reinforcing cycles of poverty. We have witnessed the heartbreaking struggle—families unable to pay mortuary bills, relatives scrambling for funds to bury their loved ones and perform traditional rites, and children forced to abandon school due to financial strain.
Akworsi was created to change this narrative. We believe that every person deserves a dignified burial, whether at home or repatriated. Through a community-driven insurance scheme, some associations do provide financial assistance to the families of a deceased registered member in the diaspora to ensure their loved ones receive the farewell they deserve—without devastating financial consequences.
