ABOUT US
We are a recognized and authorized NGO based in Yaoundé, Cameroon, that has been tirelessly working for five years to improve the lives of vulnerable Cameroonians, particularly women and children. Inspired by the plight of thousands of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) seeking refuge in churches across Yaoundé and other French-speaking regions, we stepped up to provide essential support.
Our Initiatives
- Cefonev International Academy of Excellence (CIAE), Ebebda:
- In 2021, we established CIAE in Ebebda, Center Region. It serves as the sole English secondary school in the area, providing education to hundreds of IDP children who previously had no access to schooling in English.
- Our commitment to quality education extends beyond the classroom.
- Day Care Center in Yaoundé:
- At our Yaoundé headquarters, we operate a day care center where working mothers confidently leave their children while they earn a livelihood.
- This institution plays a crucial role in supporting women and ensuring their children’s well-being.
- Nursery and Primary School:
- Adjacent to the day care center, our nursery and primary school offers a solid academic foundation to children transitioning from day care.
- Together, these three institutions form the heart of CEFONEV’s care and supervision.
Our Vision: CEFONEV faces the challenge of an increasing number of children seeking education at our doorstep. To address this, we aim to raise eight million US dollars ($8M):
- Establish General, Commercial, and Technical education sections in Ebebda.
- Transform CIAE into a boarding school, welcoming children from all backgrounds.
- Enhance infrastructure for day care, nursery, and primary sections, ensuring quality education.

TOGETHER, WE CAN CHANGE THE LIVES OF THE NEEDY AND VULNERABLE
Nache Edith Tankong.
A testimony of the IDPs at Ebebda.
We are a group of people who fled from the fierce fighting in the English speaking part of Cameroon, specifically from Wum, North West region of the country. Some of us cheated death when many of our brothers and sisters were shot in cold blood right before us. A few lucky ones like some of us managed to escape with our love ones for our dear lives. We got to Ebebda with no clothes and nothing to show for. We barely could eat, pregnant and nursing mothers slept on bare floor. Life was not moving at all until CEFONEV came to our rescue.

I am an IDP from the North West Region of Cameroon. Following the ongoing crisis in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon in 2016, schools were interrupted and I was just staying at home. In 2017, I had no choice than to move to Yaoundé hoping for the best but life experience then was a bitter one. I had to move from one house to another doing house help jobs in other to fetch for my needs. But those who opted to offer me a job in their homes gave me inhuman treatments. But one day I came in contact with CEFONEV, a center with a mission of helping vulnerable women and girls to achieve their desired dreams in life. The center has helped train me in employment and marketable skills such as income generating activities and a series of educative talks. These skills have helped me raise money for my school and other needs. Today I am a happy student of the University of Yaoundé I studying Geography thanks to CEFONEV. I’m very grateful to be a beneficiary. I thank God for CEFONEV.
