About the foundation

About us

Nina Marie Child & Youth Foundation is a child and youth-centered charitable, non-profit organization that responds to the needs of vulnerable children, youth, and families in Cameroon. It was founded in August 2019.

Our mission

Boost the general welfare and standard of living of vulnerable children and youth in local communities by incorporating Maslow’s hierarchy of needs — where primary physiological needs like food, water and shelter are met first.

Four commitments

  1. Foster education through scholarships
  2. Capacity-building and self-sufficiency
  3. Humanitarian aid
  4. Community integration

  • Dr. James Tanyi Tambe

    Adviser / Auditor

    The values of life cannot be measured or assessed by human scales. Life is life and it is worth living. The weak and the strong; the lows and the highs; the poor and the rich, yet nothing can be exchanged for a life. Each life matters and therefore must be considered and nurtured.

    It is with great enthusiasm and the love for life that Dr. Tambe started, more than 20 years ago, to seek to live and to live to help others. He believes there is nothing more fulfilling than helping others to live, giving and sharing what else is acquired so others can live.

    “I am very determined to be part of this project with Nina Marie Child and Youth Foundation, to give in my time, resources and expertise. There is no guarantee of success; neither is there an assurance to a smooth path but that is exactly why I decide to walk this path.

    Wish me good luck and be part of it if helping and saving a life matters to you.”

    James Tanyi Tambe, PhD.
