Who We Are

An Industrial Community Development Project NGO dedicated to creating opportunities for Cameroon's most vulnerable youth.

Our Story

GAMENCAM was founded by a group of community leaders who saw a painful gap: orphaned and vulnerable young people with potential, but no pathway to skills or employment. Too many were falling into poverty, crime, or despair simply because they had no family network to support them.

We started small: a single workshop, a handful of students. We grew because the results spoke for themselves. Today, GAMENCAM operates multiple vocational training tracks and a residential orphanage, serving hundreds of youth across Cameroon each year.

Born from a Commitment to Change

Our Vision

A Cameroon where every young person, regardless of background, has access to dignified work and the skills to build a self-sufficient life.

Our Mission

To empower orphans and vulnerable youth through practical vocational training and holistic care, fostering self-reliance, community development, and lasting economic opportunity.

Compassion

Every decision we make is rooted in genuine care for the children and youth we serve.

Empowerment

We believe in giving people tools, not handouts. Skills that create lasting independence.

Community

Lasting change happens when families, businesses, and institutions work together.

Integrity

We operate with full transparency and accountability to our donors and beneficiaries.
