Unlocking Women's Power in Cameroon: Why Economic Empowerment Can't Wait
In Cameroon, women and girls aren't website just waiting for change they're the change. But here's the raw truth: systemic barriers like poverty, limited education, and gender biases keep their potential locked away. At Living Green Cameroon, we're on a mission to shatter those chains through vocational training and business startup support. We're talking real skills for real livelihoods, driving gender equality and women's economic empowerment one empowered entrepreneur at a time.
The Harsh Reality of Women's Livelihoods in Cameroon
Picture this: In rural Cameroon, 70% of women rely on subsistence farming, earning less than $2 a day (World Bank data). No access to markets, no capital, no training. Gender equality? It's a joke when girls drop out of school to fetch water or care for siblings. These aren't statistics they're stolen dreams.
Our communities suffer too. Weak women's livelihoods mean fragile families, stunted economies, and cycles of poverty. Cameroon loses billions in GDP potential because half its population is sidelined (UN Women reports). Enough is enough. Women aren't victims; they're untapped powerhouses ready to build businesses, feed nations, and lead.
How Living Green Cameroon Fuels Women Economic Empowerment
We're not here for handouts. We're igniting women's economic empowerment with hands-on vocational training in skills like tailoring, soap-making, agribusiness, and digital marketing. Then, we guide startups with micro-loans, mentorship, and market links.
Vocational Training That Delivers: 200+ women trained last year, 85% launching income-generating ventures.
Business Startup Support: From idea to profit we've seen participants double their incomes in months.
Real Impact: One graduate, Mama Aisha, turned her soap business into a community hub employing 10 women.
This isn't charity; it's justice. Gender equality in Africa starts when women control their wallets and futures.
