🇨🇲Last month Alma and Annalea were in Cameroon’s capital Yaoundé where they got together with Lina began their journey with a special at the Swiss Embassy where they had the opportunity to meet the Ambassador and speak about our work and the current situation in the country.
📍From there, they continued to Bafoussam, where they met Valentine and Vera. Our projects take place in the Northwest of Cameroon, in the English-speaking part of the country around Bamenda. Due to the ongoing conflict in the country, traveling there was unfortunately not possible, which is why Bafoussam was chosen as a safe meeting point.
👂On the ground, our focus was clear: listening, understanding, planning, and developing new project ideas together.
📝During a joint session – with Céline and Vanessa joining online – the entire anang&ilema team came together to evaluate ongoing projects, openly discuss challenges, and shape new ideas for the future.
🫂At the heart of our visit was the opportunity to meet women from the two sewing formatin and the training projects. We had the privilege of listening to their stories, speaking about their experiences, and learning about their plans and dreams for the future.
💪 These were intense and incredibly inspiring days. New ideas were born, and we were able to witness firsthand the change that anang&ilema makes possible.
❤️ Thank you to everyone who makes this work possible!
