FEZOCRADA · Ouest Cameroun
For a society where every young person with a disability belongs
FEZOCRADA empowers vulnerable young people with disabilities in West Cameroon toward education, health, autonomy and dignity.
Our purpose
Our mission in brief
FEZOCRADA — the Federation for Education, Community Health and the Empowerment of Vulnerable Young People with Disabilities — is a non-governmental organization with a social, educational and community mission.
Our purpose is simple: to lastingly improve the living conditions of young people with disabilities, where the needs are greatest. We believe a disability should never be a barrier to education, healthcare, dignified nutrition or an independent future.
To achieve this, we act on four complementary fronts: special education, food support, community health and economic empowerment.
The context
The context that drives us
- 37% of Cameroon’s population lives in poverty
- ~5% of the population live with a disability
- 3.9% of national GDP only is spent on healthcare
- 5th most populated region, West Cameroon remains one of the least served by NGOs
Behind these numbers are thousands of young people deprived of school, healthcare and opportunity. That is where we step in.
