Social Development
40% of rural communities in Cameronn lack access to clean water and proper sanitation, fueling preventable diseases and barriers that disproportionately affect women and girls.
Our Initiatives
WASH Initiative
In many rural communities in Cameroon, women and girls bear the burden of collecting water, often from unsafe sources, exposing them to risks and limiting their time for education or work.
What We do
Construction, rehabilitation and geosensing of water points, hand washing stations, and gender-sensitive latrines in schools and communities.
Support hygiene education and awareness campaigns, addressing stigma and promoting safe practices within households and schools.
Train WASH committees, including women as WASHCOM leaders, to manage infrastructure and create a ripple effect in communities.
Smart Agriculture Initiative
We focus on sustainable practices that increase food security, household income, and women's decision-making in the agricultural sector, a backbone of rural livelihoods in Cameroon.
What We do
Vocational and agribusiness training tailored to local markets, including poultry farming, market gardening, fish farming, and food processing.
Climate-smart agriculture and sustainable farming techniques to improve productivity and reduce environmental impact.
Social Cohesion Initiative
We promote peace, inclusion, and community resilience by using sports as a platform for youth development, gender equality, conflict resolution and social cohesion.
What We do
Play for Peace Games is an annual intergroup sports tournaments and festival to bring together diverse communities in order to foster teamwork, celebrate culture, and promote peace and inclusion through sports.
