We CAURI

We CAURI is a non-governmental organization founded in Benin in 2025. Its stated mission is to empower women and promote youth employability across Africa, working through education, entrepreneurship, and advocacy for women's rights and youth employment. The organization describes itself as a bridge between lived realities and change-makers — academics, institutions, innovators, and businesses — and emphasizes co-creating solutions with the communities it serves rather than imposing external models. The NGO was founded by Carole KINHA, described as a banking professional with over 18 years of experience. We CAURI's work is organized around themes including women's empowerment, youth employability, Pan-African solidarity, social innovation, women's rights, vocational training, and community impact. Its programs include practical training for women, support for women in leadership, and support for rural women and vulnerable groups. We CAURI also states that it is building its work at the intersection of social innovation and inclusive digital finance, with the ambition to experiment gradually and in partnership with communities on financial inclusion approaches. The organization operates a bilingual (English and French, with Arabic also offered) website and solicits donations to support its mission.
