What We Do

We build schools and provide quality education for adolescents in under-resourced areas of Northern Cameroon, enabling them to access higher education, technical skills, and jobs.

 

St. Andrew's School, Ngong Cameroon serves over 500 students annually.

Proper education isn't accessible to all children of Cameroon. The literacy rate of around 70% is due to lack of funding, infrastructure and teachers.

At an estimated population count of over 26 million people, 30% of Cameroon's society lives below the poverty line.

WHERE WE WORK

The most recent Human Development Index ranks Cameroon 153 out of 188 countries when calculating a country's education, income and health. The average expected years of schooling is 10 years. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive academic program with a curriculum designed to go beyond fundamentals to enable the youth of Ngong to master their fullest capacity to become active and knowledgeable citizens for their communities, country and world.

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
