About Green Light Vision Association(GLIVA)

Green Light Vision Association (GLIVA) is a non-profit organization based in Bamenda, Cameroon, committed to transforming lives and fostering sustainable development in underserved communities. Our mission is deeply aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as we work to empower vulnerable populations through health initiatives, poverty alleviation, education, and gender equality.

Our Mission

At GLIVA, we are driven by the vision of creating inclusive, healthy, and self-reliant communities. Our primary goals include:

1. Promoting Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3): We focus on disease prevention, healthcare access, and health education, particularly targeting infectious diseases that disproportionately affect children and other vulnerable groups. By strengthening local healthcare systems and promoting community health awareness, we aim to improve the well-being of those in underserved areas.

2. Fighting Poverty and Hunger (SDG 1 and SDG 2): We are committed to reducing poverty by addressing food insecurity and promoting sustainable livelihoods. Through economic empowerment programs, we help communities achieve food security, thereby alleviating hunger and improving their quality of life.

3. Gender Equality and Empowerment (SDG 5): We actively empower women and youth through capacity-building initiatives. By providing skills training, mentorship, and leadership development opportunities, we equip them with the tools to become self-reliant, influential leaders in their communities.

4. Promoting Quality Education (SDG 4): We believe that education is a cornerstone of development. GLIVA works to provide access to quality education and vocational training, particularly for marginalized children and youth, to foster long-term growth and development.

5. Building Strong Partnerships (SDG 17): Our work is deeply rooted in collaboration. We partner with local, national, and international organizations to drive sustainable impact. By joining hands with like-minded entities, we contribute to the broader global effort to achieve the SDGs.
