Our foundation

Rooted in Community.
Built for the Future.

Founded in Buea in 2019 by local educators, entrepreneurs, and development professionals, MCYCF was born from a simple belief: community transformation starts with empowering young people.

Inspired by the resilience of communities around Mount Cameroon, we've grown from leadership workshops into a multi-program organization serving the South West, Littoral, and Centre Regions of Cameroon.

Voices of change

Lives Transformed

"The entrepreneurship training helped me launch my fashion business and employ two people. MCYCF didn't just give me skills — they gave me belief in what's possible."

Faith N. Women Rise Initiative Graduate

"The leadership academy transformed my confidence and opened scholarship opportunities I never thought I could reach. I now mentor younger students from my community."

Emmanuel T. Future Leaders Academy Alumni

"I watched our community come together to plant trees on land that was bare just months ago. That's not a project — that's a movement. MCYCF made it possible."
