Uthryve Network equips young people and women across Cameroon with the skills, voice, and leadership to build better futures — through four focused programs in Yaounde.
"To empower youth, women, and vulnerable communities in Cameroon through programs that foster social inclusion and equip individuals with the skills, voice, and leadership needed for sustainable development."
"A Cameroon where every young person — regardless of background, means, or geography — is empowered to realise their full potential and live with dignity and self-reliance."
Read Our Full Story →Every program in our Social Inclusion pillar is built on one conviction: people do not need to be fixed — they need the tools, platforms, and support to demonstrate what they are already capable of.
Modular vocational training aligned to market demand in Yaounde. Five modules — from self-awareness to entrepreneurship — culminating in certification and internship placements. Free group access; certified track; premium micro-credentials with university partners.
A youth-led talk show, podcast series, and live discussion platform in Yaounde. Each episode features career stories, community debates, and change-maker spotlights. A training ground for public speaking and media skills. Local businesses can sponsor episodes as CSR.
Cohort-based leadership development — active citizenship, public speaking, community project design, and peer mentoring. Graduates complete a capstone project and join the Uthryve Youth Advisory Network. Kids Clubs and Book Clubs embedded for ages 8–14.
Creative platforms — digital storytelling, visual arts, community journalism, and writing — facilitated within school and community centre partnerships across Yaounde. Entry point for the Phase 2 Media Literacy Writing Competition. Kids Book Clubs as the youngest strand.
The Youth Talk Show gives young Cameroonians a platform that has never existed for them — to share their stories, debate ideas, and be heard by their communities and beyond.
Every participant develops public speaking, media literacy, and self-advocacy skills. Every episode is a training ground as much as a broadcast. Local businesses and organisations can sponsor individual episodes as CSR activity.
"Before Uthryve, I had ideas but no direction. SkillUp Flo helped me plan my first small tailoring business and speak with confidence in front of a room. Now I mentor two younger girls in my neighborhood to start their own path."

Uthryve Network was founded with one conviction: that young people and women in Cameroon are not problems to be solved — they are assets to be activated. The gaps they face in education, income, opportunity, and voice are the result of systemic failures, not personal ones.
When the founding team began working in Yaounde in 2024, they kept meeting talented young people and women who had drive and ideas, but no consistent pathway to skills training, public voice, or real support networks. They saw the same pattern across neighborhoods: potential was everywhere, yet opportunities were fragmented and too often out of reach for those who needed them most. Uthryve was created in response to that reality, starting with four practical programs in Yaounde that turn potential into training, leadership, and visible community impact.
We are fully apolitical and non-religious — open to all. We operate under a three-tier governance structure and publish our financial results annually to the General Assembly.
