On Thursday, 17th September 2026, Women In Development For Change (WID4C) conducted a peace sensitization talk at Government Primary School in commemoration of the 45th International Day of Peace, under the theme "Invest in Peace, for Everyone, Everywhere, Everyday."

The session was led by Margaret Bechem Bechem, Founder of WID4C, who addressed over 400 children drawn from across the school.

KEY MESSAGES DELIVERED

The message centered on three core lessons, each intended to translate the idea of peace into everyday behavior that children could carry with them beyond the school gate:

● Peace as a daily practice. Children were encouraged to live in peace by being kind, fair, and peaceful, not only at school, but also at home and within their own hearts. This framing positioned peace as something built through consistent, small choices rather than a single event or celebration.
● "Peace begins with me." Pupils were taught that they have the ability to care for others and to share love, and that this individual responsibility is where peace starts. The message reinforced that every child, regardless of age, has a role to play in building a peaceful environment.
● Respect, tolerance, responsibility, and justice. As children joined the global observance of the 45th International Day of Peace, they were reminded that these four values are not one-time lessons but daily commitments, ones that shape how they relate to classmates, family, and their wider community.

The session closed with the slogan "Together For Peace," a call reinforcing that building a peaceful future is a shared responsibility. By ending on this note, WID4C emphasised that the children of Government Primary School, Akak, are not merely recipients of a message, but active participants in the ongoing work of investing in peace, for everyone, everywhere, everyday.

On 17 September 2026, Women in Development for Change (WID4C), in partnership with the Youth Mentorship and Empowerment Platform (YMEP), conducted a menstrual hygiene awareness session at Government Primary School, Akak, reaching more than 400 pupils.

The activity aimed to improve pupils’ understanding of menstruation, promote appropriate menstrual hygiene practices, challenge stigma and misconceptions, and encourage a supportive and respectful school environment. The session engaged both girls and boys, recognising the importance of involving the wider school community in creating an environment where menstruation can be discussed without shame or discrimination.

The programme included an interactive awareness session and a practical demonstration on the correct use of disposable sanitary pads. Following the demonstration, sanitary pads were distributed to girls who had already started menstruating, providing immediate practical support to help them manage their periods with greater dignity and confidence.

The activity was positively received by the school community, with school authorities expressing appreciation to the organisations for providing menstrual health education and practical support to the pupils.

What a day, the 10th of September 2026. The launch of SNWOT strategic plan 2026 - 2030. WID4C joined some diplomatic missions, international organizations and development partners at FES for this event. It was a very rich and thrilling conversation about peace, partnership and the way forward for SNWOT. As one of the oldest and largest Women’s Peace Network in Cameroon’s conflict affected Northwest and Southwest regions with grass roots presence, experience and courage SNOWT is ready to continue to equipe women with practical mediation, conflict analysis and peace building skills. To meet its ambition of reaching more women, more communities, more influence SNWOT has set the ball rolling with the launching of the strategic plan and is now looking forward to working with partners who believe that locally rooted women can help build peace and are prepared to invest in their ability to do so. It was a unique opportunity joining other members of this network to witness this moment. A milestone to celebrate. BRAVO to the General Coordinator, Mme Clotilda and the entire team who have made this dream come true.

The 1st week of September 2026 was a remarkable week for WOMEN IN DEVELOPMENT FOR CHANGE (WID4C). Our Founder and CEO Margaret Bechem Bechem and a member, Mme T**i Batoua were present at a workshop organized by MINEDUB.. It was a significant achievement for us to have been among the civil society representatives invited by MINEDUB during this high level workshop to work on MINEDUB's national strategy on violence in schools. All government ministries, development partners, civil societies organizations answered present to the Minister's invitation showing the importance combating violence in Schools has.

This workshop was not only imperative but timely because violence does not undermines only the right to education but it equally has an adversed effect on safety, and the well-being of learners. Increasingly cases of physical, psychological, and cyber violence involving pupils and teachers are reported regularly.

While sectoral initiatives do exist, they remain fragmented between MINEDUB, MINESEC and other ministries reason why all relevant Ministries were present for this vital reflection.

Our hope is that the when the national strategy to combat violence will be implemented, violence at the nursery and primary will be controlled and MINESEC and the society at large will not suffer the spill over effect.

Without a national strategy children are being punished after violence, with a national strategy violence will be prevented and will make the school a safe sanctuary again.

Thank you MINEDUB for the confidence and opportunity to help shape this national policy. We look forward to other opportunities.

On the 5th of September 2026 – Women In Development For Change (WID4C) successfully carried out its Back2School Campaign 2026/2027, with distributions today in Yaoundé and a first phase earlier in Ashum.

The objective was to provide learners with didactic materials for the 2026/2027 academic year and to ensure that vulnerable children, especially girls, IDPs, and children with disabilities, return to school with dignity and hope.

In total, 250 beneficiaries from Nkolmbong, Olembe, Masaka Esomba and Ashum communities in the Centre and South West Regions received school kits including books, pens, pencils and other learning materials.

For the first time, WID4C secured a corporate sponsor, , a major milestone for the association.

We do not take the trust of Boissons du Cameroun for granted. Their support marks a new chapter for WID4C and proves that corporate institutions can stand for community education.

It was on May 11, 2026 when we launched "Operation Promote Peace Education & Combat Violence in Schools" (PPECOVIS)
Schools are where attitudes about conflict, diversity, and power are formed. This initiative will go a long way to:

Stops Violence Before It Starts,
Builds Social Cohesion in Diverse Classrooms,
Creates Future Peace Ambassadors,
Improves Learning Outcomes,
Prevents Radicalization & Manipulation
Prepares Responsible Citizens.

As we all know academic subjects teach how to earn a living. Peace Education & Non Violence sensitization enhance knowledge on why and how to live together in harmony.

Empowering women and girls through knowledge, skills, and sustainable solutions. 🌱
