200 Target Youths — 2026

Who We Are

Building Opportunities Where There Are None

Founded in 2017, CAYEN was born from a simple truth: Cameroonian youth have talent, drive, and ambition — but lack access to practical skills and economic opportunities. We are here to change that.

Empowerment through practical, market-driven skills
Integrity and transparency in all we do
Innovation and modern creative solutions
Inclusiveness — open to all regardless of gender or background
Community impact and sustainable youth development
