Our Activities
Education
The covid-19 and ongoing Anglophone conflict in Cameroon, has affected economic activities in the two English speaking regions, and has caused frequent lock downs, lay-offs by employers, increase in the prices of basic goods and services and as a result of this, there’s a high levels of unemployment, there’s no farming and there is a high rate of school dropouts by young girls in the rural areas.
Health
In the last four years there have been an ongoing conflict in Cameroon’s two English speaking regions (Anglophone crisis), while this is under control. The consequences of the anglophone crisis the North West and South West regions of Cameroon have been enormous. Over 35,000 displaced including Vulnerable young girls and youths, have lost their livelihood and as a result some women and young girls do not have access to good health services.
Culture
In a highly diverse society, cultural literacy is an essential tool for living together in harmony, and dialogic teaching may be a way to promote and develop it among children and adolescents.
Cultural literacy as a set of attitudes (inclusion, tolerance,and empathy) and skills (dialogic argumentation) needed to understand others in our everyday lives.
