OUR HISTORY

Vision in Action Cameroon (VIAC) was born out of passion, purpose, and the determination of young people to make a difference. The organization traces its roots back to 2007, when a group of seven students came together to form a youth club dedicated to peer education in colleges. Their focus was on life skills training and HIV prevention critical issues at a time when the Southwest Region of Cameroon was grappling with a high HIV prevalence rate of 11%.

 

After receiving training as peer educators through the national “Pinch and Unroll” condom use campaign, the young founders sought to put their knowledge and energy into meaningful community service. They recognized the urgent need to raise awareness and empower their peers with accurate, youth-friendly information on sexual and reproductive health. This led to the birth of a voluntary group committed to providing preventive education and life-saving information to young people.

 

Initially operating as a Common Initiative Group, VIAC reflected a spirit of collaboration and community development. Over the years, the group expanded its scope to address broader social issues affecting adolescents and young women, integrating gender equality, rights-based advocacy, and empowerment into its mission.

 

In November 2014, VIAC attained official recognition as a registered non-profit association under Cameroonian law, with registration number 886/G37/D14/VOL II/SAAJP. This milestone marked the organization’s evolution from a small youth club into a structured entity capable of driving large-scale programs and advocacy efforts.

 

Today, Vision in Action Cameroon stands as a youth-driven, feminist, and non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the rights, health, and well-being of adolescent girls, young women, and their communities. Through research, advocacy, creative communication, and transformative programs, VIAC continues to champion change, empowering young people to lead, act, and shape a more equitable future.
