Building Futures
in the Heart
of Cameroon
In a country where 44% of children live below the poverty line and 72% face learning poverty, Forward Africa Foundation is changing lives — one classroom, one orphanage, one community at a time.
Every Cameroonian Child
Deserves a Future
We work across all ten regions of Cameroon — with special focus on the North-West, Far North, and rural communities — delivering quality education and compassionate care for orphaned children. We partner with local schools, orphanages, and community leaders to create lasting change from within.
Education First
Schools, teachers, textbooks and technology in underserved regions of Cameroon.
Orphan Care
Safe, nurturing homes with nutrition, counseling and full school enrollment.
Community Growth
Empowering local leaders in both Francophone and Anglophone regions.
Child Welfare
Health, nutrition & emotional wellbeing for every child we serve in Cameroon.

Our Programs
in Cameroon
Three pillars of action designed for Cameroonian communities and their unique needs.
Schools for Cameroon
With 14% of children ages 6–14 out of school and 72% facing learning poverty (UNESCO/World Bank), we fund school construction, teacher training, and textbooks — prioritizing the Far North, North-West, and rural communities where the gap is greatest.

Safe Homes Cameroon
Almost half of Cameroon's children live in poverty (UNICEF), and the ongoing Anglophone crisis has displaced over 1 million children. We partner with orphanages across 8 of Cameroon's regions — providing beds, nutritious meals, counseling and school enrollment for every child.

Roots & Wings
Cameroon's bilingual, multicultural identity is its greatest strength. We invest in local leaders, women's literacy, youth vocational training, and sustainable agriculture — with programs in both Francophone and Anglophone regions of Cameroon.

Stories from
Cameroon
Hear from the children, caregivers and communities whose lives are being transformed across Cameroon.
Before Forward Africa Foundation came to our village in the North-West, I had no books and no teacher for two years. Now I attend school every day. I want to become an engineer and build bridges in Cameroon.
Our orphanage in Bafoussam used to struggle with food and space. The Foundation helped us renovate, provided beds for 40 children and arranged school enrollment for every single child. The transformation has been extraordinary.
When I learned about the crisis in Cameroon's Anglophone regions, I knew I had to help. Forward Africa Foundation showed me exactly where my donations were going — with field photos and reports. I trust them completely.
