Education can only flourish in Cameroon when we create a peaceful environment and provide our children with the resources they need for sustainable education.

FAPS Development Organization, alongside our partners, has supported over 50 vulnerable youths and children at risk of missing school due to lack of resources. A heartfelt thank you to Wecoma Group and Tongacam, both located at Mile 18 Buea, as well as Office Conner in Molyko Buea, for their invaluable support!

As an advocate for peace, I urge everyone to join me in calling for justice and tranquility to return to Cameroon, ensuring that all young Cameroonians have equal access to education like their peers across Africa and the globe.

Promoting Peace in Cameroon: A Call to Action

Dear fellow Cameroonians,

Today, I want to highlight the immense importance of peace in our beloved country. Peace is not just the absence of conflict; it is the cornerstone of a prosperous and harmonious society.

As we strive for change and development, we must realize that every sector; social, political, and economic—flourishes in an environment of tranquility and unity. By nurturing peace, we open doors to collaboration, understanding, and progress.

Together, let’s address the pressing challenges we face, from poverty to inequality, with dialogue and mutual respect. A peaceful Cameroon is essential for our dreams of sustainable development to become a reality.

Let’s unite in our mission to cultivate a brighter future where every citizen can thrive in dignity and hope. Embrace peace as our collective goal.

Together, we can make a difference!

𝐎𝐮𝐫 "𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞" 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦: 𝐀 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭

We are pleased to share a look back at our recent "Backpacks of Hope" program in the Bomaka neighbourhood of Buea!
This initiative was born from a deep understanding of the challenges facing our community where years of crisis have made it difficult for many families to afford basic school supplies.
Our mission was to lighten their load and empower over 50 vulnerable students with the tools they need for the 2025/2026 school year.

This was so much more than a simple distribution event. Our program was a two-phase journey that began with the careful identification of the most vulnerable children, ensuring our resources reached those who needed them most.

The atmosphere on the day of the event was one of pure excitement ass each child received a backpack filled with essential didactic materials. We also had interactive sessions focused on key topics like:
Education as the key to a brighter future, where they participated in interactive sessions on health and hygiene, self-care, menstrual health, and protection against abuse (SGVB).
These were handled in an age-appropriate and engaging way to ensure the children understood the importance of protecting themselves and caring for their bodies.

The overwhelming turnout highlighted just how critical this support is. We saw firsthand the need for educational programs that go beyond a single day. The positive feedback from parents and students has confirmed that our holistic approach combining material aid with meaningful educational sessions is truly effective.

This success wouldn't have been possible without our incredible team and the collaboration of local community leaders who were instrumental in guiding our efforts.

We are committed to building on this success and continuing our work in the future. We believe that with more partners and supporters, we can expand our reach and make an even bigger impact in the coming years.
Thank you to everyone who supported this initiative! Your contributions are helping to ignite education and restore hope for a brighter tomorrow.

On the 13th and 14th of August 2025, FAPS Development Organization, in partnership with Empowerment Action Network, Shield Africa a, Just Now Action - JUNA, Emerge and the of Women Empowerment (MINPROFF), hosted a transformative two-day boot camp at the Women’s Empowerment Centre in Buea Town under the theme “Voices That Lead.”

The camp brought together more over one hundred teenagers between the ages of 13 and 19 including pre-teens for an unforgettable journey in leadership, advocacy, and empowerment. Over the course of two days, participants engaged in interactive sessions on advocacy, human rights, leadership, menstrual health, gender-based violence, digital literacy, and the Sustainable Development Goals. They shared their stories, connected with peers and mentors, and discovered the power of their voices in shaping change within their schools and communities.

One of the highlights of the program was the session – : Wear Your Crown Even on Your Cycle,” which encouraged young people to see menstruation as a source of strength rather than shame. Participants learned practical hygiene practices, challenged myths, and created “Period Positivity Pledges” that built confidence and solidarity. Equally powerful were discussions on gender-based violence and the role of technology in advocacy, which inspired teens to think critically about the issues that matter most to them.

Groups presented their advocacy projects, showcasing creativity, teamwork, and determination. What stood out most was the courage and openness of the young participants, many of whom asked thoughtful questions about not only the topics covered but also about mental health, self-confidence, and the challenges they face daily.
The Voices That Lead boot camp was more than just a training program it was a safe space, a movement, and a platform for young leaders to rise. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many leaving the camp more confident, inspired, and ready to take action in their communities.
As community workers and advocates, we are reminded that our fight does not end here. We must continue to support these young voices, to create spaces for their growth, and to push forward critical advocacy such as the call for Zero Tax on Sanitary Pads. Too many women and girls continue to struggle with access to menstrual products, and as prices rise daily, the need for policy change becomes more urgent.

The success of this boot camp reaffirms the truth today’s teenagers are not just the leaders of tomorrow they are voices that lead today.
