PROJECTS

Entrepreneurial empowerment of IDPs through training in baking.

The Goshen Baking School has worked extensively with women in the zones of armed conflict in the NW and SW regions to train women on baking, pastry, and baking arts. Over 100 women were trained in this program, which has been a source of subsistence for their families.

In the videos, you see some of the sessions as well as testimonies of how the project has supported them.

Social reinsertion program for women in distress.

The emotional and psychological trauma of war warrants mental empowerment to assist vulnerable people to reinsert themselves in society. We took the initiative to do so.

In our self help program to reinsert women back into society, we trained women in how to deal with trauma, how to sustain themselves with their families, and how to be able to move on from tragedy.

The organisation, at the advent of war between rebel military groups and national armed forces in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon, rose to support distressed internally displaced women by providing them with entrepreneurial skills. This was specifically baking skills

Over the last 8 years, the school has released myriad women entrepreneurs who can now feed their families and fend for their children.
