Returnees frequently come home with trauma, no savings and the stigma of a migration journey that did not go as planned. A viable small business restores both income and dignity.
CMN identifies shortlisted migrant survivors and returnees living in Cameroon who have small-business ideas or existing businesses, and supports them with seed grants, business-plan coaching, record keeping, pricing and market linkage. Sectors range from petit business and buyam-sellam trading to poultry, piggery, farming, tailoring and services.
The 2026 grant cycle is being delivered through the Business Grants Seminar in Kumba, where shortlisted applicants present their businesses and receive both training and support.
What this project delivers
- Seed grants for shortlisted businesses
- Business plan and bookkeeping coaching
- Market linkage and cooperative building
