The Real Story

What Change Looks Like

In Cameroon, youth unemployment is not just a statistic — it is a daily reality for millions of young people who wake up every morning with ambition but no access to opportunity. CAYEN was built specifically to close that gap.

Through our free programs, participants don't just learn a skill — they gain the confidence to start a business, the credential to seek employment, and the network to grow. Many of our graduates have already started earning income from their resin art products within weeks of completing training.

  • Graduates receive CAYEN certificates recognized by partner businesses
  • Trained in market-relevant skills that generate immediate income
  • Programs expanding from Yaoundé to Douala — reaching more communities
  • Women and girls make up the majority of our trained graduates
