Missions et objectifs

Bridgers Association Cameroon is a registered Non-Profit Organization with  a mission to empower vulnerable women/girls to create an environment in which both men and women enjoy equity, contribute and benefit as equal partners without any barriers.

We attain our mission through advocacy, education and sensitization of  the society, donations, awareness campaigns and deliver resource support.

Accredited to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Bridgers flexibly works with new and innovative individuals and partners who are  passionate about providing solutions to the challenges vulnerable people  and communities face.

To propel women/girls to become socio-economically viable so as to minimize dependence which makes them chronically vulnerable to all forms of violence against them.

We have the vision for a level ground where all women/girls would have equal access to  resources to enable them realize their full potential, their sex, age, disability, colour/race, country  and financial backgrounds notwithstanding.

Bridgers Association Cameroon was hatched from an embittered and miserable life experience/story of its co-founder Azah Jackline Chey who grew as a miserable orphan after loosing her Father at the age of 7 years.   Azah tell girls ..."If I made it, then, you too can make it" 

Jackline actually struggled to raise herself as a minor not because her Father died living behind no inheritance but because she was considered less important by her step brothers simply because she was a girl child. What kept her going was the fact that she was persistent in attaining higher education, her anxiety and low self confidence notwithstanding. Today she nurtures the esteems of young girls and women in realizing their full potential. Thanks to her life experiences and story, she inspired hope and motivation for the decision to create a non-governmental, non-profit Civil Society organization that was to champion the empowerment of women to stand against any form of gender based violence and promote human and community development. Thus, working towards achieving UN Agenda 2030 on the Sustainable development Goals and Africa Union Agenda 2063. Today, Bridgers Association Cameroon is  impacting the lives of thousands of beneficiaries in Vulnerable and under served communities in Cameroon through its work and projects and across the globe through its online presence as well as sensitization campaigns on social media.

Jackline who holds a Master Degree in International Law (LLM) is a mighty symbol against social injustice and gender based violence.

Together with Mr. Abai Victor Asondo (Co-Founder), they are pulling their resources together for the greater benefit of the female folks. Abai Victor is a professional Teacher and Jurist who has dedicated a quarter of his earnings and experience as a teacher to support the work of Bridgers Association Cameroon as a non-profit.
