Unity is strength · Abi Yu Ngirr
We carry Wimbum custom wherever our people live.
Culture holds a people together.
WICUDA Europe carries the culture of the Mbum people (Wimbum tribe), made up of three clans — Wi-Tang, Wi-Warr and Wi-Ya — into the countries where our people now live, and carries our support back home. The next continental gathering is in Germany.
Our focus areas
Our work runs along four strands where the association makes a practical difference — the convention and chapter calendar, custom and the Limbum language, development at home in Donga-Mantung division, and the livelihoods of members in Europe.
Convention and chapter life
One European convention a year, hosted in rotation by a chapter, plus the calendar each chapter runs at home — meetings, welfare, and the gatherings that mark a life.

For our communities
Chapters, cheat sheets, the announcements board and news from the executive — everything members reach for between one convention and the next.
The two wings
WICUDA Europe works through two wings — the men's and the women's. Both run at chapter level and come together at the annual convention.
Every year on record
Since 2022 the convention has moved between chapters — Londerzeel, Paris, Birmingham, Almere — and each year is part of the association's inheritance.
