We specifically fight against youth exploitation at the workplace by empowering youths and women to be self-reliant through demonstrating how they can combine their talents, passion,and skills to discover their purpose and use that to address unmet social problems within their neighborhoods and communities. This is achieved through practical demonstration on how to identify and address social needs, orientation and counseling, coaching, mentoring, supervising, to catapult the beneficiary work on specific schemes that lead to worthy achievable goals; such as; self-employment, job creation and college readiness for a better livelihood. The beneficiaries are accompanied by our team of experts to ensure the social concept is fully established and can self sustain and scale its impact.
SHREC’s vision is to significantly narrow the gap between the poor and the rich by addressing social needs as a means to tackle poverty in communities.
Our mission is to inspire, motivate and educate youths and women to be; creative thinkers, self reliant, confident, determined, courageous to fight their fears and limitations in order to attain their full potentials for a better livelihood.
Our goal is to establish in each region of Cameroon and beyond an orientation/counseling & information awareness centre to promote complete and sustainable human development through education and capacity building with the hope of creating specific awareness and bringing innovative ideas and changes to individuals and their communities.

“EDUCATION IS THE TICKET OUT OF POVERTY”
Each day of school is an opportunity for a child to explore, learn and dream of a better future for herself, but the impact does not end there. As children become educated and trained with basic skills and trade they will not only change their own lives, but impact and transform their families and communities.
