2026 Cameroon Mission Trips | Interest Meeting

Join the Nativity Knights, Viridiane’s Hope, and Commissioned by Christ on a mission trip to Cameroon, West Africa.  We have two trips planned for 2026: February 17-27 and October 22-November 1.

Members of the Knights of Columbus, guided by the principle of charity, incorporate the corporal works into their daily practices both nationally and internationally. Viridiane’s Hope for Children’s Health and Education, a Virginia-based nonprofit and Catholic charity affiliated with the Arlington Diocese—founded by a Nativity Knight—embodies this mission through international outreach in rural villages of Cameroon, West Africa. Their initiatives include drilling water wells, constructing schools and sanitation facilities, renovating chapels, offering educational programs, and supporting community projects. Since 2022, missionary teams have traveled to Cameroon with Viridiane’s Hope to engage in these activities. In 2025, Nativity Knights partnered with Viridiane’s Hope to implement projects such as drilling wells, chapel and altar renovations, providing comfort to the sick, preparing gardens, planting banana trees, and facilitating educational outreach for youth.

Looking ahead, Viridiane’s Hope is partnering with Nativity Knights and Commissioned by Christ, to organize two mission trips to Cameroon in 2026: February 15 – 28  (4–6 participants), and October 22 – November 1 (12–15 participants). Individuals interested in serving the poor in underserved communities internationally while practicing the corporal works of mercy are encouraged to consider these opportunities.
