Our Mission
To empower young Cameroonians through education, skills development, and leadership initiatives that foster self-reliance, civic engagement, and national progress.

A Cameroon where every young person, regardless of background, has access to opportunities that allow them to realise their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society.
Our Values
Integrity, Inclusivity, Innovation, Community, Excellence — guiding every decision and action we take in service of Cameroonian youth.
Our History
From Humble Beginnings to Lasting Impact
CAbyYouths was founded in 2015 by a group of passionate young Cameroonians who recognised the critical need for structured support for youth in their communities. What began as small community meetings grew into a fully-fledged organisation with programs reaching thousands.
Our Canadian connection has been pivotal — partnerships with Cameroonian diaspora in Canada have brought international perspectives, funding, and expertise that amplify our local impact in Bamenda and beyond.
Today, we operate multiple programs across education, vocational training, health, and digital literacy, touching lives in urban centres and remote villages alike.
