___WHAT WE DO
We are working across communities
We are deeply committed to improving the quality of life for vulnerable populations with a particular focus on women and children who have been severely affected by the ongoing conflict in the English-speaking regions of Cameroon. We understand the profound challenges these women and children face displacement, loss of family, lack of access to healthcare, stable shelter, basic education, and forceful teenage marriage for girls. Through our targeted interventions, we strive to provide comprehensive support to orphans and vulnerable children in hard-to-reach zones with accelerated and remedial education, psychosocial support, workshops, and training on agroecology techniques for women, livelihood assistance for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and micro-projects for community relief groups.
