Gender justice. Economic development. Peace. On 27 August, MYF joins the national conversation in Yaoundé.
The Mike Yanou Foundation will be at the National Conference of Women-Led Civil Society Organizations in Cameroon, convened by NEWOLEC at the Yaoundé Conference Centre — over 300 women leaders gathering under the theme "Women-Led Organizations as Catalysts for Peace, Economic Development and Gender Justice in Cameroon."
MYF comes to this gathering with a conviction that is still rare in this space: you cannot end violence against women by working with women alone. So we do both. We support GBV survivors to rebuild their livelihoods and their sense of self — and through our BoysEngage Initiative, we champion positive masculinity, raising boys and young men across Cameroon in the spirit of HeForShe: male allies who stand with women, not over them. The kind of husbands, fathers, and neighbours a peaceful, gender-just society is made of. Prevention on one hand, restoration on the other. Families at the centre of both.
We commend NEWOLEC for building a space where women-led organizations can compare notes honestly, form real partnerships, and leave with a shared roadmap.

Today, the Mike Yanou Foundation had the privilege of contributing to the International Widows Day 2026 Virtual Conference as a panel speaker on the theme:
"Beyond Charity: Sustainable Economic Empowerment for Widows Through Cooperative Finance and Microcredit."

Our contribution focused on a simple but important message: economic empowerment works best when it is people-centred.
Access to finance matters, but so do confidence, psychosocial well-being, financial literacy, supportive relationships, and community ownership. Sustainable change happens when widows are equipped to save together, invest together, lead together, and support one another.

At the Mike Yanou Foundation, we believe that strengthening widows strengthens families, and stronger families build stronger communities.
We appreciate Almanah Hope Foundation and the organisers for creating this platform, and we look forward to continued collaboration in advancing practical, community-driven solutions that restore dignity and expand opportunities for widows across Africa.

This Friday, we will join thousands around the world to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
Substance misuse is no longer someone else's problem. It is affecting our homes, our schools, our neighbourhoods, and the future of many young people in our communities.

At the Mike Yanou Foundation, we believe that no one should be defined by a habit. Every person has worth, and every family deserves hope.
That is why we are inviting the Buea community to walk with us on 26 June as we raise awareness, encourage prevention, and remind one another that recovery begins with people who choose to help rather than push away.

Our words. Our looks. Our actions. They can open the door to recovery. Join us at 6:00 a.m. from Mile 16 Shopping Mall or Mile 18 Junction as we converge at Mile 17 before proceeding to the community programme at Buea Stadium.
Let's stand together for healthier families, safer communities, and a future where every young person knows that their life has purpose.

A key highlight of the meeting was the collective contribution of participating organisations towards defining the Forum's vision, governance structure, strategic priorities, and operational framework. The discussions reflected a shared commitment to building a stronger and more coordinated movement capable of driving meaningful change within communities.

As a foundation committed to social justice, protection, and community development, the Mike Yanou Foundation is proud to have contributed to this landmark initiative and looks forward to working alongside fellow organizations through the Forum to advance gender equality, amplify women's voices, and strengthen responses to GBV across the North West and South West Regions.
