Situation
Cameroon has a significant lack of infrastructure and within isolated rural communities, there is a huge need for a programme of building classrooms and water sources. Many of the existing buildings are in such a poor state of repair that they are not only uninhabitable in the rainy season but also dangerously close to collapse. We are enabling access to quality education in a safe environment which, is key in empowering children to become active participants in transforming their societies.
Solution
We replace crumbling and dangerous school buildings with durable, hygienic, and weatherproof classroom blocks, new latrines, and clean water drinking supplies which, helps not just the children's education but also the health of the children and increase their life chances. We work closely with our partner NGO Strategic Humanitarian Services [SHUMAS] Cameroon that is recognised and respected by the UN because of their ability to deliver humanitarian work in the hard-to-reach areas.
