Empowering Women, Strengthening Communities, Creating Lasting Change

We create opportunities for women, girls and vulnerable communities through education, skills development, advocacy and community-led solutions

Our Mission

UNIMAC Cameroon empowers women, girls, and vulnerable communities through education, advocacy, skills development, and sustainable livelihood opportunities.

We advance gender equality, protect human rights, and work to reduce vulnerability to exploitation and abuse, enabling individuals and communities to build safer, more independent, and resilient lives.

Our Vision

A Cameroon where women, girls, and vulnerable communities enjoy equal rights, dignity, and opportunities to thrive, live free from violence and exploitation, and participate fully in shaping their futures and their communities.

Who We Serve

UNIMAC Cameroon works with women, girls, and vulnerable individuals and communities facing barriers to safety, education, economic independence, and well-being.

Our priority groups include:

  • Young women affected by the Anglophone Crisis
  • Girls and young women aged 18–40
  • Internally displaced persons (IDPs)
  • Single mothers
  • Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC)
  • Older persons
  • Children in conflict-affected schools

Women's Economic Empowerment & Rights

Equipping women with the skills, resources, and opportunities to build financial independence, strengthen their livelihoods, and reduce their vulnerability to exploitation and human trafficking through sustainable snail farming, entrepreneurship support, vocational training, and women's leadership training.

Gender, Governance & Peacebuilding

Promoting gender equality, inclusive community participation, and peaceful conflict resolution through initiatives that empower 1,000 children as Peace Ambassadors, strengthen women's participation in peace committees, foster cultural diversity and tolerance, and advance gender-based violence awareness and advocacy.

Inclusive Education & Digital Transformation

Expanding access to inclusive education and digital opportunities through UNIMAC Digital Futures, ICT and digital literacy training, school support, and the DREAMS Project, helping girls, young people, and underserved communities strengthen their skills and access learning opportunities.

Health, Wellbeing & Civil Defense

Promoting health, dignity, and wellbeing through menstrual hygiene management, reproductive health education, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), identity restoration for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and internally displaced persons (IDPs), and the Operation: Keep the Toilet Clean initiative.

Transforming Lives, One Community at a Time

Across Cameroon, UNIMAC expands opportunities for women and girls, supports vulnerable children, and strengthens communities.

Through initiatives in entrepreneurship, education, digital literacy, peacebuilding, and community wellbeing, we help individuals develop skills, access opportunities, and build more secure futures.

With the support of our partners, volunteers, and donors, we aim to reach more communities, advance gender equality, and create opportunities for those who need them most.

Over 200 Dedicated Volunteers

Across Cameroon, volunteers help advance UNIMAC’s mission by empowering women, mentoring young people, and supporting vulnerable communities through training, outreach, and advocacy.

Whether you can contribute a few hours or commit to a longer period, your time, skills, and passion can help create meaningful change in the communities we serve.

“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.”

 

- Marie T., Beneficiary of UNIMAC Entrepreneurship Program

Financial difficulties forced me to drop out of school and put my dreams on hold. With UNIMAC’s support, I was able to return to the classroom and continue my education. Today, I feel hopeful about my future and more determined to achieve my goals. UNIMAC reminded me that my circumstances do not have to define my future.
