About Harambe-Cameroon

Harambe-Cameroon, an independent branch of Harambe
Endeavor -- an alliance of African students studying at leading colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Asia, and Africa. Its mission is to capture, inform and engage Africa's global intellectual capital towards a sustained, strategic and concerted development of the African continent. Established in September 2007 as a non-profit enterprise, Harambe Endeavor has quickly grown in its outreach with 21
African Countries currently being represented. Arguably the
most powerful network of the next generation of African
professionals, anywhere in the world.

Harambe Cameroon is spearheading the first Social
Entrepreneurship Program in Cameroon, which seeks to
change the paradigm as it relates to competition and social entrepreneurship amongst Cameroonian students. It is designed to tap into the idealism and creativity of Cameroon's youth.

When? Every six months Harambe Cameroon organizes an Elevator Pitch Contest, on a specific theme.

Its Mission is "to inspire a new generation of young leaders and entrepreneurs who see problems as opportunities in need of solutions and have the poise and wherewithal to engage others to make long-lasting social impact."

How? Students from various universities in Cameroon apply for the Harambe Incubator Cameroon Social Entrepreneurship Program (HICSEP). Admitted students are invited to an intensive 4-weeks business camp (Business Incubator) where students are empowered with the tools to translate their ideas into ventures as they are exposed to industry experts and mentors and engage
in workshops and roundtable discussions. At the end of this Incubation process, the Top- 20 students compete in The Problem Solvers -- 90seconds to convince Competition. The best project idea receives both a reward and seed funding for the implementation of the social innovation project.
