Working with women

Empowering women, to build a nation. We Give a hand-up to a mother to create a home for a child, the future of the nation. Raise the hand of an adolescent girl, and inspire her to LEAD. Women are at the centre of development and culture in Cameroon. Mi Niña gives women a voice, the power to fight for matters that matter to them and their children; education, health and security for their children. By giving women control on their livelihood, we give them a future they can control.

When you empower women, you allow them to have more control over their careers. By investing in training, mentoring, equality programs, education grants, and promotion into senior-level positions, you ensure their career growth.

Working with Children

We help a whole new generation of children learn and grow. We strive daily to provide children with a healthy start in life, the chance to study, and safety from harm. We take steps to meet the special requirements of children and to give them a voice. Children make the most vulnerable group during disasters and emergencies.

We believe that every child deserves a childhood in all its fullness, surrounded by protective families and communities, free from violence and with the opportunity to thrive as other children do. Poverty, exploitation and violence are not inevitable. Many of the problems that children face are a consequence of exploitative practices and education gaps in both developed and developing communities. Schooling offers opportunity to our children by teaching them valuable skills that allow them to be self-sufficient and lead successful lives. But we can’t accomplish it alone. Do something incredible! Get entangled.

Mi Niña is a nonprofit organization made up of young Cameroonians who wish to bring development through; children, mothers of tomorrow in the domains of health, education, social and cultural development, as well as protecting their rights in the society.

From 2012 till date, Mi Niña has facilitated the education of vulnerable girls via partial payment of school fee and provision of back-to-school materials. Within the context of the Anglophone crisis in the Northwest and Southwest Regions of Cameroon, Mi Niña in 2018, engaged in the Humanitarian relief plan and distributed food items to Internally Displaced Women in Buea. Mi Niña later extended its services by providing empowerment to vulnerable women and girls with life skills, functional literacy and start up kits to earn a decent livelihood to sustain themselves. Within the advent of Covid 19, Mi Niña distributed personal protective equipment (PPE) to some schools in Kumba to help curb its prevalence. Under the reproductive health program, a pilot project was implemented to reduce the prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women, lactating mothers and adolescents. The project focused primarily on behavioural change communication to effectively motivate target group comprising primarily of those at high risk to adopt healthy practices to reduce the risk of anaemia. This involved promotion of knowledge, encouraging the adoption of appropriate healthy practices and making provision of needed health products and services at the community level for anaemia reduction.

With funds received from LUKMEF within the framework of the Canadian Fund for Local Initiatives, Mi Niña is currently facilitating the payment of school fee of internally displaced impoverished children in Kumba.
