About Us

"It is in giving that we receive."

Ava Melissa Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to empowering underprivileged women and girls, especially those affected by displacement and poverty. Our journey began by rehabilitating internally displaced women, helping them rebuild their lives with dignity. We later expanded our work into maternal health, inspired by the urgent need to prevent avoidable deaths from childbirth complications, such as hemorrhage.

Today, our mission brings these experiences together into a focused commitment: saving mothers, restoring dignity, and strengthening women’s well-being. Through our integrated approach, we support women not just to survive—but to heal, thrive, and lead change in their families and communities.

Our Commitment

Our commitment relates to the primary objectives of our organization;

To provide sustenance and shelter to vulnerable persons which include orphans, widows, the needy and internally displaced persons from the regions affected by the ongoing Cameroon Anglophone crisis.
To bring out the talents of underprivileged women and children, and make them useful to their communities by offering them self-reliant activities and sponsored training programs.
To promote skill acquisition and its enhancement through support programs.
To give educational grants and scholarships to underprivileged children in rural and suburban communities.
To bring sustainable development to communities in need.
To work with other associations and organizations who are also committed to bringing change in our communities.

Our organization seeks to provide a better life for the vulnerable population in our communities by offering them the opportunities that they have been deprived of by their status and low income levels. Therefore, we will continuously be at the forefront of change and sustainable development through our projects and works done in partnership with other organizations.
