Back To School Support For IDPS in Yaounde by CAD Cameroon
A little change makes all the difference
Change Advocates to Promote Education Health and Sustainable Development (APEHSD) Cameroon is a Non-Governmental organization made up of youths from diverse fields of life that have the desire to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Cameroon.
APEHSD doesn't function as an Island. It is made up of men and women who choose to be volunteers, partners, funders etc. We are inviting you today to become a member of this great team.
APEHSD's mandate is to focus on promoting the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG1, SDG 4, SDG5, SDG6, and SDG16
Peace is a vital instrument for community growth and development and without peace, there cannot be sustainable development. APEHSD engages in activities that promote peacebuilding, conflict prevention/ Resolution, Reintegration and reconstruction of communities highly affected by armed conflict and violence in Cameroon. APEHSD also engages in activities that promote peace education and the localization of SDG16 in grassroots communities of Cameroon.
Advocates to Promote Education Health and Sustainable Development (APEHSD) is an organization that promotes equal opportunities for women and girls in Cameroon. Through this program area, APEHSD supports activities that combat harmful socio-cultural practices against women and girls in Cameroon. APEHSD engages in activities that fight against gender-based violence and promote women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).
Youths make up 60% of Cameroon’s total population, making it very imperative for them to be included in Cameroon’s national development. Through this program area, APEHSD engages in building safe spaces for youth’s participation in local governance and promotes inclusiveness in achieving our vision.
Poverty cannot be completely eradicated in Cameroon if the vulnerable population, women, girls and youths are not economically empowered to contribute to the national economic growth. Therefore, through this program area, APEHSD supports and implements activities aimed at economic empowerment, poverty alleviation and sustainable livelihood among communities in Cameroon.
SDG4 is the education goal, which calls all stakeholders to “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. Education is the backbone of national development and sustainable change, and an uneducated population cannot contribute to national development. Through this program area, APEHSD localizes SDG 4 in Cameroon as well as ensures quality education cuts across all the other goals.
"Change Advocates to Promote Education Health and Sustainable Development has really been a blessing first to me because through my partnership, I have the opportunity to improve the lives of many. APEHSD is also a big blessing to her beneficiaries across Cameroon whose lives have directly been impacted by her activities."
