WHO WE ARE

A Movement Born from the Girls of Cameroon

Founded in 2021 by Ndum Charlotte Ayeah in Bamenda, AAGYW Cameroon was created to break the barriers preventing girls and young women from participating in decisions that shape their lives. What started locally has grown into a nationally recognised force for change across Cameroon.

OUR PILLARS

Three Pillars of Our Work

Every AAGYW program is built on three interconnected pillars.

Voice & Participation

We equip girls with knowledge, confidence and platforms to participate in civic life — from local governance to national policy.

Safety & Rights

We protect girls from gender-based violence, advocate for health rights, and create safe spaces for healing and growth.

Leadership & Agency

We invest in girls as leaders — mentoring, training and supporting them to become agents of transformation in their communities.

“AAGYW helped me find my voice. I now lead my school’s girls’ club and I advocate for menstrual health every week. They showed me that my voice matters and that I can lead change in my community.”
