Over 400 mattresses have been delivered to IDP communities in hard to reach areas deep in the jungle in Cameroon.

SHUMAS, our partner on the ground had to navigate road blocks, armed groups and poor roads to deliver these and other essential items.

⚡️Powering new babies! ⚡️

We were so pleased to provide the funds to get solar panels fitted at St Oldie, the largest health centre in Edea.

These panels now power two of the incubators, removing the risk of power cuts that are frequent in the area. The lives of three babies have already been saved.

Check out the link in our bio for more information.

Villagers that benefitted from a classroom block built five years ago help out their former neighbours, now IDPs, by donating 900 sacks of rice!

We were able to help with the logistics thanks to a generous donation from our friends Future in our Hands 🙌

Not big costs but the impact for these emergency relief items in the communities we support in rural Cameroon is HUGE.

We’re thrilled that over the years we have received regular donations from large corporations, schools and big-hearted individuals.

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 buildin

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.
