Background and Partner Organisation

In the dynamic programme for violence prevention, conflict transformation and peacebuilding, the Civil Peace Service (CPS), you will strengthen Bread for the World’s partner organisations in their long-term commitment to dialogue, human rights and peace in conflict regions.

Welcome to two exciting partner organisations in Cameroon that live diversity and equality:

Association des Femmes et Filles de l’Adamaoua (AFFADA) is passionate about the empowerment of women. It focuses on social integration, gender equality, education, active participation in decision-making processes and the promotion of self-determination. In a world where equal opportunities are a priority, AFFADA works passionately to give women the tools they need to go their own way and achieve their goals. The counselling and support centre for victims of gender-based violence in Ngaoundéré is an oasis that provides a trusting shelter and encounters with empathetic professionals.

Location: Yaoundé

The Saare Tabitha girls’ education centre is an inspiring place that strengthens the position of women (including girls) in society and promotes the harmonious coexistence of different religious, ethnic and social groups. It is not only about education, but also about creating an environment where women can develop their abilities to play a significant role in our diverse society. Saare Tabitha builds bridges between communities and creates a common platform where people from different backgrounds can meet, understand and respect each other.

Location: Maroua

Your place of residence: Ngaoundéré

The above-mentioned projects, programmes and services will gain regional appeal thanks to your creative impetus in the specialist areas of gender-based violence and reproductive health and your establishment of a regional network.
