Today there are over 100 people living in Belfort Village, half of whom are children. Belfort Village is named in memory of a deceased patient. On the grounds of the village is the primary kindergarten Ezaka (meaning "A serious effort") with a canteen and various workshops were villagers can learn profitable activities such as weaving baskets, mats and hats, making jewellery jewelry from nuts and seeds, farming or working in the nearby Macolline planting nursery. CALA does not only support the villagers financially or technically, CALA also donates drugs, food and clothes when needed.
