Our Programs
At No Girl Left Behind (NGLB), we have 3 core programs targeted for girl/young women between the ages of 13-25 years.
Sponsor a Girl Programme (SGP)
Quality education is the cornerstone of a prosperous nation. But in Cameroon — an ethnically diverse country in south-central Africa — only 53 percent of children attend secondary school. Also, the state of girls’ education in Cameroon is troubling
Sustainable Skill Acquisition Programme (S-SAP)
With the high level of unemployment among the youths especially our young women who eventually end up as a housewife with little to nothing to cater for their growing family needs, our Sustainable Skill Acquisition is aimed at providing girls and young mothers with sustainable skills.
Career Mentorship Programme (CMP)
With our one-on-one mentoring programme we help these girls find their path in life. As a mentee, they will benefit from the deep experience of people who at one time were faced with similar challenges that they face today and have been able to make an impact
