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.

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 🙏

A huge thanks to everyone at @sunesis for providing the furniture to the Marvellous Nursery in Akok Ndui!

We fund the building of classrooms in communities where the infrastructure is inadequate or non existent, all for the equivalent cost of a small family car.

Here’s some snaps of shelter kits, WASH kits, first aid and baby kits being distributed to IDPs in rural Cameroon.
