Empowering Women and Girls Across Cameroon

Creating opportunities through education, advocacy, and skills development — because when women rise, communities thrive.

“Through UNIMAC’s support and training, I’ve gained the confidence and skills to start my own small business. What began as a simple dream has now become a way to support my family and inspire other women in my community.”
