YOUTH EDUCATION-HERITAGE-LEADERSHIP
Welcome to the IWDIMAA Program for Youth!
Empowering Excellence, Nurturing Roots!
​
At the Cameroonian Association of Edmonton (CAE), we believe that the prosperity of any community hinges upon the cultivation of excellence in its youth. With this core principle in mind, we proudly introduce the IWDIMAA program – a name derived from "my roots" in Foulbe, the most widely spoken language in North Cameroon. IWDIMAA is not just a program; it's a commitment to promoting excellence, preserving our cultural heritage, and equipping our youngest members for a brighter future.
​
Our Mission:
​
Cultivating Excellence: Excellence doesn't just happen; it's nurtured. We've made it our mission to provide the tools, knowledge, and support necessary for our youth to excel in all aspects of life.
Preserving Heritage: Our roots are our strength. IWDIMAA is dedicated to preserving the rich cultural heritage of our community, ensuring that traditions, languages, and customs are passed down to future generations.
