Educare-Africa Center in Tatum

Finally our dream will come true and it will greatly improve our work in Cameroon.

EDUCARE-AFRICA CENTER, Tatum, Northwest province, Cameroon

To whom it concern;
  1. Why did we decide to establish this Center? In 2007, two rooms in the house that we have been using for the past 3-4 years were already rented when we arrived so we were forced to use a large parlor, which was without ceiling, very drafty and had many leaks. That was a hint that we needed to look for our own place.

  2. What do we plan for the Center?
  • Educare-Africa office, of course
  • Public library with public internet services
  • A dormitory for 12 outstanding female students
  • Computer lab for teaching students, teachers and the public
  • Several guest rooms
  • Housekeeper, who will live on the grounds and take care of things, work on the farm, garden, etc. with our students’ assistance; Couple dogs for security and great company;
  • Farm, Vegetable garden, fruit trees, poultry, some animals to raise food and generate some funds to keep the place sustainable;

Mr. Emmanuel Sunjo, our national coordinator in Cameroon, is finishing the project proposal with an estimate for the first phase.
