After School Program for Children in Cameroon

Summary

The project aims to help underprivileged children from different schools in Cameroon by developing their skills & creating an emotionally safe place to meet and improve the educational level of young people. Since the beginning of the Anglophone crisis, which has persisted since late 2016, the schooling of young people has become increasingly precarious. The program will help them to catch up with some of the topics they have missed. This initiative is to focus on Phase 2 budget of the program.

Challenge

GMM was formed because there was a great demand of the community's needs. We discovered that rural communities in Cameroon continue to suffer - especially Children, because of the lack of initiatives for individuals to help themselves and come out of their predicament. Since the beginning of the Anglophone crisis, which has persisted since late 2016, the schooling of young people has become increasingly precarious.

Solution

The proposed project aims to help disadvantaged children from different schools by developing their skills and creating an emotionally safe place to meet and improve the educational level of young people. An after school program will help them to catch up with some of the topics they would have learned formally in school. GMM has worked very hard to carry out several projects in Boyo Division of Cameroon. The organization has focused largely on Child sponsorship and women empowerment programs.

Long-Term Impact

Underprivileged Children would be benefited by learning topics they have missed because of regional crisis. Current project is aimed to be launched at Jinkfuin region, and will be extended to other regions as it progresses. We have successfully achieved Phase 1 milestone of the project, which focused on ICT Training Center foundation, now we are marching to Phase 2 milestone to complete ICT Training Center construction.
