8. Our Theory of
Change
๏ดWith ECOSOC Special Consultative Status, Bridgers Association Cameroon is a flag bearer of the 17 UN
Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) and so far has attained its mission in the past 8years(2013-2020) of
itโs existence. This has been achieved through youth and women empowerment by the promotion of quality
education, agriculture, WASH, entrepreneurship, capacity building in volunteerism programs and
Reproductive Health Rights protection and education. To sustain its sustainability, successful projects and
ensuring the enforcement of the principle of solidarity, Bridgers is involved in partnerships and collaboration
with other organizations and stakeholders, in line with its mission, also aiming to eradicate poverty and uplift
womenโs place in the society, which is free from violence and all forms of inequalities.
๏ด Bridgers is convinced that as long as the aforementioned is ensured; the community becomes a safe
space for all, importantly, women/girls as they are the chronically vulnerable group. It enhances an
environment free from discrimination, stigma, ignorance, hunger, environmental chaos and injustice. To
effectively attain the aforementioned, Bridgers has taken advantage of the funds, grants and donations to
impact positively to societies in Cameroon.
Despite how measuring the success of our impact, which has been very consistent, Bridgers has impacted
positively to those women/girls, who have benefited immensely from our initiative. Bridgers also applaud and
acknowledges the steady collaboration of the schools, our partners, the government and the youths in
actively participating on our social media campaigns to make the world a better place and achieve
sustainable development.
