CAMAUW continues to advocate for the improvement of the status of girls and women, and this project concentrates on improving the lives of physically handicapped girls.

In Cameroon the physically handicapped, particularly women and girls, suffer great discrimination especially in rural areas.  Children born with disabilities are often abandoned and many disabled children live in institutions.  This project is based at a centre for handicapped children (CEFED - Centre for the Education of Females with Disabilities), and seeks to encourage teenage girls to undertake a programme of skills training in order to improve their self-esteem and to allow them to re-integrate into community life and be economically independent.  The project also aims to educate and sensitize the local population and to encourage greater respect, care and concern for the disabled.  It also attempts to "de-congest" the centre by educating parents to face up to their responsibilities and not to abandon handicapped children.  Parents are encouraged  to take their handicapped children back into the home for at least 3 months of the year.  Project leaders work with community leaders to re-integrate some of the disabled girls back into their family homes, leaving place in the centre for those with more serious problems.  CAMAUW has also been working to urge female politicians and parliamentarians to renew efforts to change and enforce laws portecting the disabled population.

During 2008 CAMAUW members have been overseeing the training programme and encouraging the skills development component for eventual self employment and sustainability for the centre.  They have donated educational materials, (text books, exercise books, pens, pencils) creative materials (scissors, glue, paper) and skills development materials (sewing fabric, embroidery thread, and sewing patterns).  On the practical level, CAMAUW members have also supplied 3 mattresses and a hundred kilo bag of rice.
