Hi, i hope somebody can help me and willing to reply few questions for me.
We are moving to Douala before the end of this year and we have 2 years old daughter.

a) Is there any childcare around or something similar I can rely on?
b) can woman work in offices? How difficult is for a woman to find a job?
c) is it safe to ship our personal effects to Douala by container?

I look forward to hearing some good news.

Thank you so much

hello,

Of course, there is child care in Douala, you can get a nanny or a baby sitter at a cheap rate.Women do work in offices.
getting a job will depend on what you are trained in.
There are a lot of oil and gas companies here in douala, and getting a job, with proper qualifications will pose absolutely no problems.
yes you can ship your goods, but customs here are the problem.You shall have to be patient in them.If you have any other querries, do not hesitate to contact me on, my email; ngassa_ernesto@yahoo.ie

Hi Fesika. I'll be moving to Douala with a 1 year old this April. How was your transition to Douala with your toddler? Any advice/ suggestions? Any recommendations on playgroups or SAHM meet up?
