SUSTAIN Cameroon is a not-for-profit organization working to improve on the welfare of vulnerable persons of all ages in the most under-served communities in the North West Region in particular and Cameroon in general.

We provide income-generating opportunities for widows, barren women, and orphans, while supporting continued education and training to help them break free from:

  • Extreme poverty
  • Human trafficking
  • Early and forced marriages
  • HIV/AIDS infection
  • Other serious health and social risks

Who we are

SUSTAIN Cameroon was created in response to encouragement from those we serve. We are a grassroots organization powered by a team of passionate and committed staff, many of whom work on a voluntary basis. Our team draws from diverse backgrounds in education, health, and project management, combining their skills to deliver direct support and build long-term community capacity.

We focus especially on the socio-economic reintegration of vulnerable women and girls in rural areas.
