Celebrating Growth and Empowerment: Lum Precious and COMAGEND’s Journey to Empower AGYW.

At COMAGEND Cameroon, our mission has always been to empower Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive, lead, and inspire change. Today, we are proud to spotlight the remarkable growth of one of our own, Lum Precious, who has taken bold strides in her personal and professional development. 

Through her dedication and commitment, Lum has acquired essential skills in CV writing, abstract writing, online applications, and poster presentations. These are not just skills on paper—they are keys that unlock doors to international platforms, enabling her to represent her peers in global conferences and advocate for the causes that matter most to AGYW. 

This transformative journey was made possible thanks to the unwavering support of HER VOICE FUND and the Centre for Advocacy in Gender Equality and Action for Development (CAGEAD). Their initiative underscores the critical role of collaboration in creating lasting change for young women across Cameroon and beyond. 

We extend heartfelt gratitude to the Her Voice Fund Ambassador Cynthia Wakuna and Dr. Valery Nji for their invaluable lessons and mentorship. Their expertise and guidance have left an indelible mark, not just on Lum, but on all the young women who aspire to step into leadership roles and make their voices heard on a global stage. 

In a rapidly evolving world, equipping AGYW with practical skills like CV and abstract writing goes beyond personal development. It empowers them to: 

  • Access Opportunities: From scholarships to global summits, the right skills pave the way for AGYW to seize life-changing opportunities. 
  • Amplify Voices: Effective communication, whether through a well-crafted CV or a compelling poster presentation, enables AGYW to share their stories and advocate for their communities. 
  • Lead with Confidence: Knowledge and preparation instill the confidence needed to stand tall in international arenas, representing not just themselves but the aspirations of countless others. 

As we celebrate Lum Precious and her achievements, we’re reminded of the importance of creating pathways for young women to succeed. This journey doesn’t end with one individual, it’s a ripple effect that empowers communities, inspires peers, and fuels the larger movement for gender equality. 

We invite more partners, organizations, and stakeholders to join us in this cause. Together, we can ensure that every AGYW has the chance to rise, shine, and leave her mark on the world. 

At COMAGEND, we believe in the mantra #EmpowerMeDontBlameMe. It’s a call to action for systemic change, personal growth, and unwavering support for AGYW. Let’s work together to make empowerment a reality for all. 

Thank you to our partners, mentors, and every individual who believes in the potential of young women like Lum Precious. This is just the beginning, and the future is bright!
