Our Story
Africa Avenir is a 501c3 designated Non-Profit. Our mission is Empowering African women to help with the advancement of their communities for a better future. Using technology and the internet to take advantage of opportunities to help them become self-sufficient and build a stable future for themselves and their children by providing training and access to employment opportunities making them more productive global citizens.
Our future starts in Cameroon. A West African country with an estimated population of over 30 Million people. More than 86% of the population is under the age of 44. Women in Cameroon have limited opportunities outside of Agricultural jobs to make money to help support their families.
Africa Avenir is committed to helping build a stronger African society capable of responding to their needs with women at the heart of socio-economic change.

A Letter from the President
This most precious gift from GOD called Life is but a bubble in Time in which a mindful Spirit can make a positive impact on others’ life simply with an open heart and caring acts.
I grew up in Africa and particularly Cameroon, raised by my beloved belated grandparents with assistance from afar from my endearing Mother and all around abusive Father. And the multitude of similar abuse cases witnessed around me and beyond sharply crystallized early on my burning desire to be part of the solution to restore the dignity of Women in general and their rightful place in our societies.
I am well aware that speaking openly in my Cameroonian culture of abusive parents is like poking bee hives without protection, due to the often misunderstood and misused “Honor” code that drives human’s false ego in general when gone unchecked.
But I share this critical part of my life experiences not for sympathy, rather to underline the foundational real life experiences that shaped my journey and still fuel my burning conviction leading up to this essential mission with AFRICA AVENIR.
I was the lucky one out of seven children, to find refuge, next to my grandparents at the age of one. This was refuge from the permanent trauma of our abusive Father.
This allowed me growing up and unaware then, to observe from a safe distance and in loving care; the hardship of my Mother and siblings along with the enduring destructive effects on their personal lives then; now as well as on their current extended families today.
This is personal and unfortunately too many Africans and particularly Cameroonians know a version of a struggling Mother giving their all to no avail to provide for kids without meaningful support when their partner bails out on family responsibilities.
We journey through time and can only find ourselves where we are in time and course of history at any moment. AFRICA AVENIR cannot and does not seek to change cultures, but with your support, we can ensure that women everywhere have a fair opportunity to earn with dignity and the means to take care of what has always been more precious to them: Family.
Our mission at AFRICA AVENIR is to help provide the tools, training, and job opportunities in the Global Market to these resilient and brave women using the internet.
I left my Cameroonian family to find an effective way to help out against all odds and haven’t seen them for over two decades. I am fully excited, thankful to GOD and AFRICA AVENIR’s dedicated Board of Directors for their goodwill investment that led us all to this point.
It took raindrops to form the flood that changed the course of life on Earth in our recently recorded history, and each drop mattered. Your drops matter to help AFRICA AVENIR level up the forgotten people with available opportunities of our modern times.
Thank you for joining us on this journey to extend true liberation through sustainable opportunities to our women, who are everyday heroes.
May God bless and empower you on your journey!
