Finding alternative work for young prostitutes on the streets of Yaoundé

The main objective of Group Rehab is to suggest alternative ways of making a living to Young prostitutes to enable them to get off the streets.
This group of women have gradually established a support structure of weekly meetings in which they could share experiences. They have created a climate of confidence. The young women and their hosts (all women) now relate like a family.

Specific Objectives

  • To help the girls to regain self esteem and self confidence
  • To provide education about their health and, in particular, AIDS
  • To provide medical assisstance to mothers and children
  • To support them in the realisation of a personal project that would enable them to make a living by other means
  • To promote a familiar atmosphere in which the young women feel cared-for and understand how valued they are by the rest of the group
