Empowering Women

About us
Women in Alternative Action (WAA) Cameroon is a non- profit and non-governmental organisation founded in 2004 with a vision to promote communities free from gender-based violence, stigmatization, discrimination, and exclusion of women, youth and girls in Cameroon and Central African sub-region
On-going projects
Building open spaces for youth participation in peace building processes in Cameroon Phase 2.
Youth training on peace buildling, conflict prevention and resolution
This is the phase II of the project and it seeks to not only prevent youth from engaging in violence and be recruited into armed groups, but also to promote inclusiveness in peace processes by preventing further occurrence of crisis through scaling up the positive outcomes of phase 1 funded by Ifa-Zivick, and currently being implemented in the North and South West.
Gender Justice
Child marriage is child abuse. It has kept our girls in the back, deprived them from education and exploring their full potentials. We won't relent our efforts untill child marriage is abolished in Cameroon.
Justine Kwachu
Executive Director of WAA Cameroon
Peace & Security
"Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear."
Nelson Mandela
