This is the motto of the next Misereor Lenten Campaign. Become part of our campaign and join us when we take a closer look at the living realities of young people in Cameroon.

In the vibrant heart of Douala, Cameroon’s largest city, many young people take their professional future into their own hands. They do this with the support of CODAS Caritas Douala, a long-term Misereor partner that offers individual project development and start-up counselling and, above all, trusts in the youths’ skills and abilities.
Vocational training changes lives – in Cameroon and worldwide. By creating opportunities, strengthening self-confidence and opening new pathways to the future, it has many benefits for both individual people and the society as a whole.

‘Overcoming poverty requires cooperation
and strategic thinking. But that‘s not enough. It takes more than all that.
It takes love!’

Felix Wilfred, India

Development needs cooperation, strategies, dedicated people on the ground, and funding. 
This makes perfect sense. This is how Misereor works, and this is how you get involved 
within your parishes, schools and groups. This is how, together, you use the Lenten Veil 
creatively and stand up for a society based on solidarity. But you also need one more thing: 
You need love!
