Transforming Lives and Changing Stereotypes

You Are Not Alone is a volunteering association born in 2021 as a result of 3main societal problems in Cameroon we aim at solving. These problems includes; the difficulty parents face to raise autistic children, less privileged especially those without a home and difficulty incarcerated people faced in integrating back into the society.

At You Are Not Alone, we believe in providing people with the right support and opportunities to reintegrate to the community and rebuild their self-esteem, self-worth, confidence, strengthening their sense of value and enabling them become contributors to the community

Our mission

The mission of You Are Not Alone is to provide support to local Autistic children and their families to interact better within the community and help to cope with some of the difficulties associated with the disorder, to assist homeless people find a home and become financially independent and to ensure that former convicts are able to integrate properly into the community.

Our vision

At You Are Not Alone, we commit to a vision of a Cameroon where everyone has a place to call HOME. We believe that every single person deserves a home to call their own.
We look forward to seeing autistic children being able to associate with other children as we assist their parents in helping them become independent. As well as Cameroon where former convicts are able to blend into the community as before.

Our story

You Are Not Alone came about from the passion to support parents. In 2021, Stephanie wanted a platform to support parents and share her journey with her son on how she was able to support Stephane gain independence and confidence. As a result of the anglophone crisis in Cameroon a lot of Cameroonians were jailed for supporting the crisis and a lot more have lost their homes. In the face of this great difficulty You Are Not Alone expanded to helping the homeless and the former convicts to become valuable citizens in the community.
