The PAAJEDEC program aims to support young inmates in 4 Cameroonian prisons: Monatele, Mfou, Ngoumou and Bangangte. This program also contributes to the improvement of the socio-economic living conditions of the young inmates by providing them with adequate legal assistance and vocational training to facilitate their reintegration into society. But also by recreating contacts with their families and by providing them with psychological assistance.

Thus, through this project, young detainees acquire useful and necessary skills for their current situation as well as for their life after their release. All this is done with the aim of creating hope, leading to independence and restoring dignity to the young detainees.
