Why We Exist
CCPD was born from an urgent reality.
For decades, millions of young people in Cameroon have faced systemic poverty, unemployment, limited access to quality education, and few opportunities for economic advancement. In March 2005, CCPD was established to respond to this challenge by providing practical skills training, entrepreneurship education, and employment opportunities for disadvantaged youth and young women throughout local communities.
Over the next decade, our work produced measurable and lasting results.
⦁ More than 5,800 unemployed young people successfully transitioned into skilled professionals and entrepreneurs.
⦁ Household incomes increased dramatically in many participating communities.
⦁ The average annual household income among families we served increased from approximately $1,500 to more than $7,500 within ten years.
These outcomes demonstrated that when young people receive the right education, skills, and opportunities, entire communities prosper.
