Our story
Pick a year to read its chapter
Chapter 01 · Beginnings
In Yaoundé, five young single mothers from one of the city’s poorest neighbourhoods start the circle. Their aim: to help girls who had dropped out of school and women in distress, through training and work.
Chapter 02 · Taking shape
Women’s rights, violence, education, reproductive health, entrepreneurship, food security, the environment: the circle organises its work, hosts the WIN conference every year, and its coordinator wins the WWSF prize in 2016.
Chapter 03 · Ecological transition
With the French Embassy in Cameroon: training, a processing unit, liquid detergent production, improved cookstoves, farming tools and seeds.
Chapter 04 · Water & Pads
With the International Alliance of Women, the Water & Pads project equips schools in Kribi and Mbalmayo: washable pads, hygiene and access to water, so girls stay in school all month long.
Chapter 05 · A pivotal year
Building a shelter for survivors of violence, and taking Water & Pads to the school in Ngoulemakong. We are writing this chapter with you.
