The ongoing socio political crisis plaguing the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon has rendered many homeless, businesses destroyed, live ones killed and many displaced from the crisis hit zones to cities and also to the French speaking regions of the country free from the crisis.

Yaounde in the center region which is the political capital of Cameroon has witnessed an influx of many as internally displaced. These persons have been completely cut off from their sources of livelihoods. Building their capacities on entrepreneurship, self reliance, business opportunities, agriculture, start up small scale businesses etc will go a long way to help them integrated in the society.

This project intended to empower 500 internally displaced persons within a period of 3 years.
