Donate Now →Poverty as a challenge, not a sentence.
We envision communities where poverty is no longer a hereditary sentence, but a challenge that can be overcome with the right tools and support.
Lasting change, not temporary relief.
Our work is not just about providing temporary relief — it is about investing in human capital to create lasting generational change, where every scholar, family, and child has the tools to thrive.
A dual approach to empowerment
Our impact is driven by two interconnected programs that address both immediate needs and long-term potential — for the students of today and the families building toward tomorrow.
The Mbome Scholarship Program
We identify and nurture academic excellence among students from impoverished backgrounds, providing holistic support so scholars can focus on their studies.
- Tuition, books, and accommodation
- One-on-one mentorship
- A path to becoming future leaders and change-makers
The Haven Project
No child should walk alone. Haven provides a comprehensive safety net for orphans and children at risk in Limbe, going beyond basic needs.
- School fees, uniforms, books, and tutoring
- Balanced meals and nutritional support
- Counseling, mentorship, and safe spaces to heal and play
Three pillars, one mission
Real change takes more than one kind of support — here's how our work breaks down.
Community Support
Food, shelter, and essential aid for families facing an immediate crisis.
Education & Empowerment
Scholarships and skill development that give people the tools to change their own trajectory.
Sustainable Futures
Clean energy and agriculture initiatives that build income and independence that lasts.

Rooted in one community, built for lasting reach.
The Mbome Foundation is based in Limbe, on Cameroon's southwest coast — a community we know closely, where every scholarship and every Haven Project family is someone our team can walk to.

The true measure of our work is seen in the lives we transform.
Once selling goods on the street to help her widowed mother, Claudine is now a medical doctor — thanks to the support of a Mbome scholarship.
A father who received a microloan and business training after a disaster, Simon now runs a thriving tailoring shop that employs two others.
A safety net for every child, at every step.
Beyond basic needs, Haven wraps orphans and at-risk children in Limbe with education, nourishment, and care.
- Educational Support — school fee payments, uniforms, books, and after-school tutoring.
- Nutritional Support — regular provision of balanced meals and nutritional supplements.
- Psychosocial Care — counseling, mentorship, and safe spaces for healing and play.
