SOBATAM is a community solidarity fund that is intended to honor the last wishes of the deceased members. We seek to bring all people of Cameroonian background, their relatives and friends, residing in the Unites States or Canada together without distinction of age, class, caste, religion, sex, gender, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, health status, tribe, or religion for the primary purpose of helping bring closure and solace to the family of a deceased member. Our goal is to build a strong network of 7,500 or more  active members  in order to reduce the contribution amount of each member to 2 dollar US ($2.00) or less per death.

SOBATAM was created with input from a broad range of members of our community in North America, to better respond to the high costs associated with the burial, cremation, and/or shipment of remain of a loved one, while giving you more flexibility to adjust your membership as your personal, professional or family situation evolve, and more voice on how SOBATAM works.
