We are a non-profit organization based in the Kadey Division (East Region) of Cameroon since 2017. We operate in more than 20 communities around the division, including Batouri, the divisional capital.
PADK has one main vision. Every community has numerous assets and skills, which are sufficient to start and sustain a long term development of the community. It is therefore important to bring the communities to identify and use those assets. Therefore we think that the community development initiative should come from the inhabitants and the external partners should be just in assistance.
"Powerful Action for the Development of the Kadey (PADK) is a non-profit organization located in the Kadey department, in the East region of Cameroon.."
Our team has grown over the years, we are thankful to all who have contributed to our common interests and shared vision for the future.
... our invaluable interns and students from across Cameroon, our future leaders of tomorrow.

Local Volunteering:
For International Supporters, Volunteers, and Expats
Remote collaboration:
Remote collaboration is always welcome. Volunteers can support the organization from anywhere in the world by contributing skills such as research, grant writing, communications, design, mapping, data analysis, curriculum development, documentation, or technical support. These roles are typically flexible, project-based, and adapted to your availability.
Remote volunteers should be self-directed, reliable, and comfortable working across time zones and cultural contexts. This option is well suited for individuals who want to contribute consistently while remaining based elsewhere.
Special Note: For those interested in visiting and living on the farm, we only consider long‑term stays. A minimum commitment of three to six months is required. This ensures that time invested in orientation, relationship‑building, and training is mutually beneficial.
On‑site participants are expected to engage fully in daily farm life, including physical labor, communal responsibilities, and learning through practice. Life on the farm is simple and rooted in local rhythms; adaptability, humility, and respect for local leadership and customs are essential.
If you are interested in either option, please share a clear statement of intent outlining your skills, preferred mode of involvement, availability, and motivations. We prioritize applicants whose expectations align closely with the realities of our work and setting.
