Nina Marie Child & Youth Foundation, founded in August 2019, supports vulnerable children, youth, and families in Cameroon.
Our mission
To boost the welfare and standard of living of vulnerable children and youth in local communities. We meet the most basic needs first, then open the way to education and self-sufficiency.
Founded in Buea in August 2019, the foundation works where the need is greatest in Cameroon’s South West: with orphans, with families displaced by the crisis, and with students one missed fee away from leaving school.
What we do
Following Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, we take to heart the basic physiological and social needs of the most vulnerable children and youth.
-
Education
Scholarships for elementary, secondary, high-school and university students who show excellence and cannot pay: school fees, books and bags.
Scholarships -
Welfare
Food, water, toiletries and shelter for orphans and internally displaced families: the basic needs that come before anything else can.
Humanitarian aid -
Capacity building
Workshops that teach life skills, from goal-setting and self-esteem to tailoring, so young people can build a livelihood of their own.
Workshops
Three ways to help
Every gift, every hour and every scholarship reaches a child in Cameroon.
What people say
From the families, students and volunteers we work alongside.

Thanks to the Foundation, my daughter is back in school with all the supplies she needs. We struggled to afford her books before. Now, she’s thriving!

Attending the capacity building workshop gave me the skills to start my own tailoring business. I finally feel hopeful about the future.
Sandra, 21 · Capacity building workshop participant -
I’ve volunteered for many organizations, but this is the first time I truly felt like I was making a difference. The kids’ smiles say it all.
