A problem can be visible and still be misunderstood.

You can see the statistics.

You can read the reports.

You can identify what seems to be missing.

But until you listen to the people living with the problem, you may not understand the full picture.

During UNIMAC’s recent baseline survey in Njong village, Santa Sub-Division, Northwest Cameroon, the team found that 100% of the population relies on pit toilets, alongside challenges with access to safe drinking water.

The numbers are important.

But they are only the beginning.

We also need to understand why these challenges exist, how they affect people’s everyday lives, and what solutions can actually work for the community.

That’s why we believe meaningful community development starts with listening.

Not assuming.

Not imposing.

Listening.

Because the people living with a challenge should have a voice in shaping the solution.

So before we design.

Before we decide.

Before we act.

Let’s listen first.

Because meaningful change begins when we stop assuming what communities need and start understanding what they actually experience.

Listen.

Understand.

Involve.

Then build.

The internet gave us a voice, but did it teach us how to use it?

This was one of the questions that stood out during a workshop on “Advocacy Within the Rule of Law” held by FOAEA on August 1, with a joint session with Globe Watch Foundation.

The conversation went beyond simply knowing our rights.

It explored civic space and digital rights, and how these rights shape the way we participate in our communities and online spaces.

Civic space gives people the freedom to speak, share ideas, access information, come together, and take part in issues that affect their communities.

And today, much of that participation also happens online.

We post.

We comment.

We share information.

We raise concerns.

We support causes we believe in.

But with that freedom comes responsibility.

Before sharing information, we should take a moment to verify it.

When we disagree, we can choose dialogue instead of hostility.

When we have a platform, we can use it to promote accountability and positive change without taking away the rights of others.

Because having a voice is a right.

How we use that voice is our responsibility.

Building a stronger and more inclusive society starts with understanding both.

Because having a voice is a right.

How we use that voice is our responsibility.

In a world where everyone has something to say, let’s make sure our voices help build, not divide.

Some challenges are easy to miss until you go where the people are.

Yesterday, UNIMAC’s CEO and Program Head visited Njong Village in Santa Sub-Division, Northwest Region of Cameroon, to understand the challenges people in the community face.

The visit revealed two major challenges:

👉 100% of the people we engaged use pit toilets.

👉 Access to safe drinking water is still a challenge.

But these are not just numbers.

They show us some of the real problems people deal with every day.

This is why the baseline survey is important.

It helps us listen to the community, understand their needs, and see where support is most needed.

Understanding these challenges gives us a better starting point to think about the right kind of support and solutions for the community.

The work does not stop at identifying the problem.

The next step is finding practical ways to respond.

We welcome individuals, organisations, and potential partners who share this vision and may be able to support efforts toward better access to basic needs in communities like Njong Village.

Together, we can turn what we learn into action.

You cannot create solutions for a community you do not understand.

Sometimes, the biggest challenge is not a lack of ideas.

It is not having enough information to understand what people are really facing.

That is why the Map4Change Youth-Led Community Mapping Program matters.

Launched in Yaoundé, Cameroon, the programme is giving young people practical skills in community mapping, research, data collection, leadership, advocacy, and policy writing.

But this is more than a training programme.

Young people will take what they learn back to their communities.

They will identify real challenges, listen to people, collect useful information, and use what they find to suggest solutions that can support better decisions.

Because you cannot build lasting solutions based on assumptions.

You need to understand the people.

You need to understand the problem.

And you need the right information to know what can actually make a difference.

The launch brought together young leaders, government representatives, development partners, academics, and community development practitioners around one important idea:

When young people are given the right tools and opportunities, they can play a real role in improving their communities.

UNIMAC was represented at the workshop by Egbwengayuk Agnes Bisong, Focal Point for UNIMAC Cameroon in Fako Division.

Her participation reflects UNIMAC’s continued interest in initiatives that equip young people to understand the challenges around them and take part in creating better solutions.

Sometimes, exploitation doesn’t begin with force. It begins with a promise.

A promise of a better job.

A chance to travel.

A better life.

For someone facing financial hardship or limited opportunities, such promises can feel like the opportunity they have been waiting for.

And that is one of the reasons awareness matters.

Yesterday, July 30, the world marked World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, drawing attention to the realities of human trafficking and the need to protect people from exploitation.

But fighting trafficking goes beyond recognising the problem.

It means helping people understand the risks before they find themselves in vulnerable situations.

It means creating access to accurate information, education and opportunities.

It means building communities where people can ask questions, recognise warning signs and speak up when something does not feel right.

Because vulnerability should never be an invitation for exploitation.

And the fight against trafficking cannot be limited to one day on the calendar.

We need continued conversations.

We need informed communities.

We need stronger protection.

And we need to keep creating pathways where people can pursue a better future safely and with dignity.

World Day Against Trafficking in Persons was yesterday.

The conversation continues today.

You don’t always need someone to show you the way.

Sometimes, you just need someone who has walked the path before you.

Someone who can share their experience, offer guidance, ask the right questions, and help you see possibilities you may not have considered.

For young girls and women, having access to the right mentorship can make a meaningful difference.

It can build confidence, help them navigate challenges, develop new skills, and give them the courage to pursue opportunities they once thought were out of reach.

At UNIMAC, we believe that when we invest in people, we create opportunities for them to grow, thrive, and realise their potential.

Because sometimes, the right guidance at the right time can change the direction of someone’s journey.

We’re excited to share some good news 🎉

We are excited to share that the Universal Maidens Association Cameroon (UNIMAC) has officially received its Membership Certificate from the Global Environment Facility Civil Society Organization (GEF CSO) Network!

This is more than just a certificate.

It is a meaningful milestone that strengthens our commitment to creating positive change in our communities and advancing conversations around environmental justice, climate resilience, and sustainable waste management.

At UNIMAC, we believe that women, girls, and young people have an important role to play in creating sustainable solutions for the future.

This milestone gives us even more opportunities to learn, collaborate, advocate, and contribute to community-led environmental action.

We are grateful for this recognition and excited for what lies ahead.

Here’s to more impact, more collaboration, and a more sustainable future.

Scammers are getting smarter. Are we doing enough to protect our older loved ones?

As more people use the internet to connect, learn, shop, and access important services, online scams are also becoming more common.

Older persons can be especially vulnerable to these scams, as fraudsters continue to find new ways to gain people’s trust and trick them into sharing personal information or money.

This is why digital safety is important.

Knowing how to spot a scam, question suspicious messages, and ask for help when something doesn’t feel right can make a big difference.

At UNIMAC, we believe that awareness and education can help build safer and more resilient communities.

Protecting older adults from online fraud is a shared responsibility that involves families, caregivers, communities, organizations, and policymakers.

We are pleased to amplify this important awareness message from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime UNODC and we encourage you to share it with the older adults and communities around you.

Together, we can promote safer digital spaces and help ensure that no one is left behind in our increasingly digital world.

Watch and share the video to learn more about recognizing and avoiding online scams:

What happens after a project ends tells us whether it truly made a difference.

It's easy to count the number of people who attended a training or took part in a project.

But the real question is:

What happens next?

Do people use what they learned?

Do they solve problems in their communities?

Do they inspire others to do the same?

That is what lasting impact looks like.

At UNIMAC, we believe real change doesn't happen when we do everything for communities.

It happens when we work alongside them, giving people the skills, support, and opportunities to lead the change themselves.

This is the heart of the DREAMS Project (Digital Resilience, Entrepreneurship Access, Mentorship & Sustainability for Vulnerable Women).

The project goes beyond training.

It equips vulnerable women with digital skills, mentorship, and access to opportunities so they can build better futures, support others, and create positive change in their communities.

Because when one woman is empowered, the impact doesn't stop with her.

It reaches her family, her neighbours, and the next generation.

As we begin a new week, let's remember that the best community projects don't create dependence they build people who can keep the change going long after the project is over.

What do you think makes a community project truly successful?

We'd love to hear your thoughts.

The world changes when ordinary people choose to care.

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela a leader who reminded us that lasting change begins with compassion, courage, and a commitment to humanity.

This year's International Nelson Mandela Day theme, "It is still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity," is a powerful reminder that creating a better world is a shared responsibility.

At UNIMAC, we see this responsibility come to life every day through empowering communities, creating opportunities, and supporting individuals to reach their full potential.

Every act of service, every life impacted, and every voice empowered brings us one step closer to a more just and equitable society.

As we commemorate International Nelson Mandela Day, let us remember that meaningful change doesn't always begin with grand gestures.

It starts with showing up, lending a helping hand, and choosing to make a difference wherever we are.

Together, we can build stronger communities and create a future where no one is left behind.

Happy International Nelson Mandela Day.
