Dear Project Supporters,
Thank you for your support in providing the tools and opportunity for students in Cameroon to get an education.
"Education is a powerful driver of development and one of the strongest instruments for reducing poverty, raising incomes, promoting economic growth and shared prosperity, and for improving health, gender equality, peace, and stability." (World Bank).
We were delighted to team up with US military personnel from Civil Affairs Team 8242 who delivered 16 barrels full of school supplies thanks to your generous donations to schools in Garoua. The donations effect children where the attendance rates of each school reach up to 2000 students and provide a better education opportunity for the students most vulnerable to recruitment by Boko Haram.
"It is essential that we understand local needs and adequately respond to them in a targeted manner", said Sylvester Renner, the President of Develop Africa. "This is why Develop Africa has been providing books, school supplies, scholarships and training for 10 years now", Renner said. Read the full press release.
You helped bring necessary supplies to these children and made an impact on their future. Develop Africa welcomes additional school supply donations and donations of funds towards logistics on an on-going basis and around the year.
Thank you for making a difference!
With great appreciation,
The Develop Africa Team
