초록/요약
ABSTRACT The Cameroonian women especially those of the Anglophone regions (The North and South West Regions of Cameroon) have many skills and talents which can enable them to make the economy of Cameroon better, but due to many political, social, economic barriers, they fail to use these skills and talents to the fullest. Thanks to microfinance organizations which have been assisting with Microloans to finance their micro projects, they are able to move from darkness to light. From findings, the Cameroonian woman is very instrumental and important when it comes to activities that promote the wellbeing of the country. Most of them are the main figure head in the family irrespective of whether a man is present or not. Families can survive thanks to their efforts as they are able to pay the fees of the children, afford food for the entire family and extended families. These women are able to carry on with these activities thanks to the help of microcredit they get from microfinance organizations due to bad government policies, the top to bottom approach of foreign aid management and even the Millennium Development Goals which has women as one of its top priorities have not lived up to expectation in this part of Cameroon.
