Programs Overview
Education & Literacy
Access to quality education remains a major challenge in rural and conflict-affected communities in the Southwest region of Cameroon. Many children are forced out of school due to abandoned infrastructure, displacemen
WASH & Community Health
Access to safe water, sanitation, and basic health services is a human right but for many rural and conflict-affected communities in Cameroon, it remains out of reach.
Child Protection
We provide immediate, child-centred support to children who have experienced or are at risk of abuse, neglect, violence, or separation due to conflict and displacement in the northwest and southwest regions of Cameroon.
Youth & Livelihoods
Our goal is to empower women and youth with the skills, confidence, and guidance they need to secure decent work, start small businesses, or pursue further training.
Humanitarian Support
Conflict and displacement have forced many families in the South West Region of Cameroon to flee their homes without food, bedding, or shelter. Children sleep on bare floors. Mothers struggle to feed their families. Elderly persons are left without protection.
Climate Action
CYSD promotes sustainable solutions that protect both people and the planet. Through tree planting, environmental education, climate awareness campaigns, and community-led sustainability initiatives.
