Peacebuilding
Who we are
Our story
Hope for Peace and Human Rights (HOPEHUR) is a non‑governmental organization committed to promoting peace, defending human rights, empowering vulnerable communities, and fostering sustainable development in Cameroon.
The problem
Many communities face human rights violations, gender‑based violence, poverty, limited access to justice, poor menstrual hygiene awareness, inadequate education, and social exclusion. Vulnerable groups — women, children, widows, prisoners, persons with disabilities, and internally displaced persons — are particularly affected.
