“It is better to light a candle of hope than to curse darkness.” Chinese proverb

For more than a decade, RAYD has been providing humanitarian assistance to rural youths in Cameroon.
Our focus has so far been in the areas of education, health, poverty alleviation through enterprise development, sports, etc.
We have worked to ensure that economically disadvantaged rural youths can fulfil their dreams of obtaining formal education, starting and growing their own businesses, sensitised the youths and parents on the need to support the education and dreams of their children, organised holidays sporting events to build bonds between youths from different backgrounds living in the same communities etc.

Silently and reliable, we have given this support using financial and material contributions, mainly, from RAYD members.

However, in January 2020, realising the interdependence of our work, and to maintain the increasing trust that these vulnerable young people place on us, we decided to solicit funding from all legitimate sources to increase our operating scale to benefit more youths in the medium to long-term. The most important being the capitalisation of the social entrepreneurship platform (MunGo-BéNoué Social Enterprise) to support petit and small businesses for rural youths.

I heartily appreciate both old and new members for their continuous support to helping RAYD realise its goals. I am very grateful to all the partners who have supported the vision this far.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss with you how we might work together to help RAYD achieve its vision – Do everything possible for rural youths to realise their full potentials.
