Water Catchments Protection:   Kumbo Council made a project proposal to protect some existing water catchments in the municipality. In partnership with HELVETAS - Cameroon, assistance has been given for water catchments protection.  Ten communities have benefited from this assistance. 

These include: the Kitiwum, Kikaikelaki, Kai, Meluf, Melim, Mbuluf, Nzenshwai, Njavnyuy, Tadu and Tobin. This is because with the increasing difficulties the council has been facing.  The council then decided to coordinate and assist the various water schemes, by looking for funding and to supervise the execution. With the assistance from donors, Tobin in particular had two sources identified.  The ridging around the catchments was done, fencing with barbwire, fire tracing, and the planting of water shed trees. In all, 2.4 Million Francs was spent, with HELVETAS sponsoring the highest. More than 1,000 trees were planted around the catchment by the Tobin community.
