Past results
Through our previous project intervention some of the following key impacts and results were achieved:
- A niche of 100 child brides and at-risk girls was created in 4 out of the 7 divisions of the North West Region of Cameroon, whom we continuously assist to pursue their dreams.
- Of them 25 at risk girls enrolled and supported to continue education.
- And 25 child brides were trained in various skills trades including tailoring and design, hairdressing, and are currently waiting to be assisted to set up their small businesses in these trades and to indulge in income generation activity to enable them to create wealth to support themselves, their children, and their families with basic needs.
Long-term results for people
