It’s World Children’s Day. There are so many children around the world who are denied access to education at the moment. Many thousands of them live in Cameroon. Let’s help them get back to school. Please support our work. #idps #cameroon #educationmatters

On World Toilet Day - a loo with a wonderful view! Funded by Building Schools for Africa and built by SHUMAS at a school in NW Cameroon. Good toilets preserve the dignity and security of teenage girls and allow them to continue going to school. Of course they also improve the health and hygiene of all who use them!

Three new lives have been saved! Solar panels were fitted to the roof of St Odile Health Centre and the electricity was connected to incubators in the maternity ward. This project hasn’t even been formally handed over yet but already three premature babies have been saved from certain death. In a time of real crisis in Cameroon let’s celebrate the new lives that this technology enables.

It may not look like a conventional school building - but for these IDP children who have missed out on education for almost 4 years, it is a beautiful symbol of hope for the future.

An exercise book, a pair of shoes, a bag...considered ordinary objects for most of us but for an Internally Displaced Person they can make a world of difference settling into a new secondary school.

We are funding the provision of this essential kit so children have access to their education.

Thank you for supporting us! 🙌

The pop up community schools which we have funded

The pop up community schools which we have funded provide a safe space for IDP children to learn and grow into the citizens of the future.

We hope to fund more projects like these to the areas that have been hit the hardest by the political crisis and COVID-19.

We are delighted that we are now able to fund the setting up of two pop-up community schools in the hard to reach bush communities of Nkah and Nkuu where many IDPs have fled for safety from violence.

These will provide safe spaces and an opportunity for 400 children to re-start their education and receive psycho-social support from specially trained and appointed teachers.

Here’s a rousing rendition of the Cameroon national anthem from the pupils of the bilingual primary school, in Sodiko, at the opening of their new classrooms! 🎼

Our impact study shows that the building of classrooms leads to increased attendance, improved academic achievement and greater opportunities in life.

Thank you to Sunesis for their generous donation that made this possible 🙏
