Check out our Friends in Cameroon!

While our team is busy organizing for an Annual Meeting to formally launch activities in 2011, we wanted to share some information about a great organization not too far from our home base of Kumba. We are very excited to work with them and have already started communication for projects this summer!!


United Action for Children (UAC) is a Non-Governmental Organization based in Buea, a city in the South West Region of Cameroon. UAC is a non-profit, philanthropic, and non-political organization committed to the development of a caring society for children and young people.Created in 1996, UAC has grown substantially over the past few years with the help of local staff and international volunteers!


UAC runs so many different Programs!!

Jamadianle School began in May 2002 as a nursery school with 11 children in a one-room schoolhouse. In the 2006-2007 school year, 465 students were registered and 16 classrooms were being utilized. Every year the school adds another class and will continue to do so until the oldest students reach class 6.


In 2002, United Action for Children (UAC) established a Vocational Training Centre to provide disadvantaged street- and rural youth with skills they can use to find work. Vocational training makes students more attractive job candidates, as well as providing them with skills that can be used for self-employment and contract work.


The UAC Community Sports for Development Program is aimed at facilitating the development and integration of young people into the society through sports activities with a view of providing appropriate methods and skills. UAC uses the power of football to mobilize children and young people particularly those living in rural areas channel their energy towards productive initiatives. In this program, we encourage young people to do cleanup campaigns in communities, cooperative farming and thematic discussions on issues affecting their growth and development.



Through “Kicking AIDS out of South West Region and Cameroon” campaign, UAC equips young people through Football, skills and life skills that will help them to guard against the deadly HIV virus and channel their energy towards productive activities.
