Activities:We raise funds in Cameroon and abroad and assist students with school and exam registration fees, school supplies and other basic educational needs including textbooks, which are available only in Cameroon. In addition, we use these funds to buy science laboratory equipment and building materials in Cameroon, assist with transportation of these materials to the building site and oversee completion of each building project.
Parents of the students and community provide the labor. If necessary we will assist in purchasing land for some essential school building projects, for example a dormitory. We hope to assist in getting water and electricity to each school.
We use raised funds to purchase used clothes for needy students in Cameroon. We will use our funds to assist brilliant Cameroonian students in applying to Cameroon Universities and American colleges. We will check on their progress in school.
