Desstin – Cameroon’s trusted matchmaking app is not just connecting people. It’s building love stories—one match at a time.
Bastos Yaounde lived Mama Elise, a 60-year-old widow. Her husband, a respected police officer, had passed away in the line of duty two decades ago. Since then, she had lived alone—raising her children, caring for her home, and quietly nursing a heart that had once known deep love.
As the years passed and her children moved abroad, Mama Elise often found herself in silence. She tried to stay strong, but the loneliness became a constant companion. Friends told her to accept her fate, that her time had passed—but deep inside, she still believed love could visit her one more time.
One Sunday after church, her niece showed her Desstin—a Cameroonian matchmaking app made for serious relationships.
“Aunty, this one is not for playing games,” her niece said. “It’s for people who want something real, like you.”
Nervous but curious, Mama Elise created a profile, unsure what to expect. Within days, she began chatting with Papa Jean, a retired teacher in Bafoussam, who had also lost his spouse years ago. They shared stories, laughter, and even prayers.
Weeks turned into months, and eventually, Papa Jean came to Yaoundé to meet her in person. What started as cautious conversation blossomed into comfort, trust, and companionship. They now spend their weekends together—cooking, attending church, and finding joy in each other’s presence.
Mama Elise thought love was behind her. But with Desstin, she discovered it was waiting ahead, ready to begin again.
