In Cameroon, youths often face significant barriers to education and personal development. The Battiston Lyonga Foundation is committed to breaking these barriers and providing the tools and support necessary for young girls to succeed. Our Youth Development program focuses on education, mentorship, and life skills training, ensuring that every youth has the opportunity to achieve her full potential.

Educational Opportunities

Education is the cornerstone of our Youth Development program. We provide scholarships to cover school fees, uniforms, and supplies for youths from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our after-school programs offer additional tutoring and resources to help students excel academically. By removing financial obstacles and providing academic support, we aim to ensure that every youth has access to quality education.

Mentorship and Life Skills Training

Mentorship is a vital component of personal and professional development. Our program pairs young girls with mentors who provide guidance, support, and encouragement. These mentors, often successful women from the community, serve as role models and help the youths navigate challenges and set goals for their future. Additionally, we offer life skills workshops covering topics such as leadership, financial literacy, and health education, equipping youths with the skills they need to thrive.

Community Engagement and Leadership

We believe in the power of community and the importance of fostering leadership among young girls. Our Youth Development program includes community service projects and leadership training, encouraging youths to give back and take on active roles in their communities. By promoting civic engagement and leadership, we empower girls to become agents of change in their own right.

Success Stories

Fatima’s Journey: From Student to Leader

Fatima, a young girl from a rural village, faced numerous obstacles to her education. With the support of the Battiston Lyonga Foundation’s scholarship program, she was able to attend school and excel in her studies. Through our mentorship program, she gained confidence and leadership skills, eventually becoming the president of her school’s student council. Fatima now mentors younger girls in her community, inspiring them to pursue their dreams.

Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders: A Mentorship Success

Our mentorship program has seen remarkable success stories, like that of Clara, who was paired with a successful businesswoman from her community. Clara’s mentor helped her navigate academic challenges and encouraged her to apply for a prestigious scholarship, which she was awarded. Clara is now studying to become an engineer, breaking barriers and setting an example for other girls in her village.
