My education: My seed of hope
Non-inclusive education
Our education program targets orphans, abandoned children with priority given to girl who are more likely to repeat several grades or end up dropping out of school because of lack of school materials or the inability for their rural communities to afford their schooling. By providing these children a safe place to learn and grow, we are protecting them from ending up in the streets, turning to theft, criminality, prostitution or getting marry at a young age to take care of themselves.
Necessity
School supplies and school fees sponsorship for children in rural areas in Cameroon
Activity
Our organization purchases school supplies for school children and pays for their school fees.
Countable effort
Increase the number of children sponsored by 10.
Result
Improvement of the learning conditions of children, especially girls in rural areas
Systemic effect
By sponsoring the schooling of children and sponsoring their schools, we allow equal opportunities to learn and foster a solid foundation for all children to consider higher education of their choice and help them become actor of their development.
Background
Inadequate infrastructure and resources, gender inequalities, poor quality of education, vocational training mismatches, and limited funding are some of the key challenges that Cameroon's education system faces. In additional of our ongoing fundraising activities. The aim of this project is to help reduce the wide regional disparities in access to education, educational performance and the poor functioning of Cameroon's education system.
The good deed
With the school supplies and school fees that our GOOD DEED will allow us to sponsor, we will continue guarantee the completion of the primary and secondary school cycle for underprivileged children, especially girls (orphans, disabled children) in rural areas in Cameroon. This will ensure equal education opportunities to all the children dreaming to attend higher education, improve their living conditions and equip them to contribute to the country's development. Through our education program, we have a mandate to promote access and improve the learning conditions of children, especially girls in rural areas so they can receive a quality primary and secondary education. The neglect of education in rural areas in Cameroon, as else whare in Africa, is recognized worldwide. The rural children there are sadly disadvantaged in terms of learning skills which prevent to seek other lives, and they don't have education opportunities as the children living cities.
Challenge
We are planning to develop partnership with the Canadian and the Cameroonian government and with schools, and national and international NGOs that support and fund international Education projects.
