Program 1 · The Need

Why this matters.

In many communities in Cameroon, children drop out of school because they lack books and support, and many women and out-of-school youth never had the chance to learn to read. We bring learning back into the village.

  • Children drop out of school due to lack of books and support
  • Women and out-of-school youth are unable to read or write
  • Girls leave school early without mentorship or support

Who we serve: Children, girls, women and out-of-school youth.
