About us

Making AI accessible to women and young people in Cameroon.

Women in AI Cameroon (WAI-CAM) is a citizen movement founded in Yaoundé in 2026. We believe artificial intelligence must be understood, used and shaped by Cameroonian women — not merely endured.

AI and emerging technologies

Breaking down barriers to AI and emerging technologies.

We run awareness, hands-on training and support programmes so that every woman can understand, use and benefit from the opportunities AI offers: jobs, entrepreneurship and local innovation.

500 Regional trainers

Train 500 regional trainers to multiply local impact.

50,000 Women reached

Introduce 50,000 women to the uses and opportunities of AI by 2030.

1M Indirect beneficiaries

Direct and indirect beneficiaries through programmes and community projects.

The digital gender gap remains a major challenge.

In Cameroon, access to digital tools and AI is still unequal. WAI-CAM works to close this gap between urban and rural areas, and for women and girls.

WAI-CAM is changing the game

We mobilise women and young people through training, mentoring and community action to accelerate an inclusive adoption of artificial intelligence in Cameroon.

Our mission

To enable women to understand, use and take ownership of artificial intelligence technologies, improving their living conditions and contributing actively to the development of their communities.

Our vision

A Cameroon that leads by example in digital inclusion and responsible innovation, where women do not endure the AI revolution but fully drive it.

Women who train and inspire other women.

Leadership

AI as a lever for autonomy and decision-making.

WAI-CAM puts inclusion, ethics and social impact at the heart of its mission.

Governance rooted in the regions

WAI-CAM is led by a committed presidency, an executive board (general secretariat, treasury, auditors, research & development, communications), regional leads across Cameroon, a Europe & Asia branch and a youth unit running the Youth & AI programme.
