Cameroon Association of University Women
Promoting Higher Education and Sport for Women and Girls

CAMAUW continues to advocate for the improvement of the status of girls and women, to encourage life-long learning and to encourage its members and female graduates to use their expertise to effect change in society.  One way in which they are doing this is through an awards programme, started in 2005, and run in collaboration with Soroptomist Internatational and the Commonwealth Civil Society of North West Province.  A small number of awards are given annually to motivated female high school students, who have excelled both academically and through their sporting successes. In 2006, two girls, Fotzo Makou Nelly Carole of the Government Bilingual Practicing High School Yaounde, and Sama Akanyun of the Baptist High School Buea, each benefited from a cash prize for outstanding results in Advance Level studies.The programme will continue again in 2007.
