The Bambui Cultural Community (BACCO) USA is a registered non-governmental organization headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Established 18 years ago by founding members from BACCO-DMV, BACCO-MN, BACCO-Texas, BACCO-Boston, and BACCO-Milwaukee, the organization has expanded to include six branches across the United States, with approximately 120 registered members located in the following areas:

BACCO USA is dedicated to two primary objectives: cultural preservation and humanitarian initiatives. Each year, we host fundraising conventions on a rotating basis among our branches, particularly those with larger memberships. These conventions not only celebrate the rich Bambui culture but also serve as a platform to generate funds for humanitarian projects in Bambui, Cameroon.
Over the past 18 years, BACCO USA has successfully implemented a variety of projects, including:
• Provision of educational materials to students• Supply of medical supplies to Tubah Regional Hospital• Construction of a canteen, modern restroom facilities, and a portable water supply system for Tubah Hospital• Donation of delivery beds and medical equipment to Tubah Hospital• Support for the Malam Integrated Health Center, now located in a newly constructed facility in Asangkwo• Installation of solar panels and lighting at the Bambui Fon’s Palace, with plans for further expansion to additional streets in Bambui.
