The Women's Empowerment Institute of Cameroon |
The Women's Empowerment Institute Cameroon (WEICAM) is an organization that promotes human rights and the democratic process in Cameroon. WEICAM works especially with organized women groups, using these local mechanisms to put more women in leadership and decision-making positions. To achieve these goals, WEICAM has several programs that enable women to build a strong positive self image, develop their potential, be included in leadership roles, and engage in activities that will raise their living standards. |
Recently, WEICAM's Executive Director Geraldine Chin gave an interview to the weekly newspaper L'Effort Camerounais on the work WEICAM does in Bui Division and the challenges of running an NGO in Cameroon. You can check out the published interview here. Also, we will soon be placing online more materials from our Youth Training program and are looking forward to welcoming some new volunteers this summer. Check back soon for those updates. |
