Who We Are

Initiated in January 2013 with part of a cash award Monique Kwachou received from the Orange Foundation for academic excellence despite disability, Better Breed Cameroon came into being as a result of a single unanswered question a group of young passionate Cameroonians had identified: if/when the breed of leaders we decry today pass away, will there be better people to take their place?

This group appreciated that while advocating against the myriad development and governance issues plaguing Cameroon today, it is imperative to ensure tomorrow is better by raising more conscious and active citizens and intentionally cultivating better capable and principled young people to serve and lead when the time comes. Behind the founding of Better Breed Cameroon, was the acknowledgement that Cameroon’s issues are systemic and the bad system has bred bad leaders and apathy in citizens… a new breed is needed, and the best way to address the plethora of Cameroon’s problems and ensure a better Cameroon in future would be focusing on raising this new breed. Hence the organization’s motto is “Breeding the change we need”
