🌉 BUILDING BRIDGES, RECONNECTING PEOPLE – PROJECT SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED! 🕊️
What happens when you bring divided communities together through young people? Peace happens.
We are proud to announce the successful completion of our 6-month peacebuilding project “Building Bridges and Reconnecting People” under the Connected Cameroon Program funded by the Goethe-Institut Kamerun.
Implemented by a powerful consortium:
🤝 Good Hope Charity Organization (GHCO) Lead Child Africa– Lead South West. Green Partner Association NWR (project Lead)
OUR IMPACT IN NUMBERS:
âś… 20 Peace Clubs created and mentored in secondary schools
✅ 10 Schools in South West showcased talents on Oct 9th, 2026 in Buea – 189 students.
✅ 10 Schools in North West showcased on Oct 14th, 2026 – 206 beneficiaries.
âś… Total: 395+ young peace mediators trained
For six months, we mentored students in:
- Non-violent communication & Peace Mediation
- Inter-faith and inter-cultural dialogue
- Talent for Peace – using drama, poetry, music and debate to preach peace
- Reconnecting Anglophone and Francophone youth divided by crisis
On the final demonstration days in Buea and Bamenda, students did not just speak about peace – they PERFORMED peace. From moving dramas on GBV and child marriage, to poems on living together, to mediation role-plays – these young people proved that the future of Cameroon is not conflict, but connection.
The South West event hosted 10 schools with 189 students in Buea. The North West event followed on Oct 14th with 206 beneficiaries. Together, we built bridges where walls existed.
Heartfelt gratitude to Goethe-Institut for trusting local youth with peace. To Green Partner Association and Lead Child Africa – true partners in Peace.
