Not every girl will have an opportunity to go back to school after this pandemic. The outbreak of the COVID-19 in Cameroon has caused untold suffering and there is a drop in economic activities. Families that are living from hand to mouth cannot afford basic necessities now, and hunger has always been a greater priority of very impoverished families. This means no education for their children and more forced marriages for adolescent girls.
Internally Displaced Persons who have fled armed conflict either in the Far North, North West and South West region to other settlements grapple with double scourge during this period. Some of them do not have homes or are in overcrowded or informal settlements. Here they live with limited access to food, water and health care. This exposes them to SGBV most especially forced marriages and survival sex, which can shatter a girls dream for a better future and open the door for teenage pregnancies
This project will provide quality education to these girls who are at the verge losing the hope to dream. It will also provide start-up capital for some of their parents, in that way they can sustain the impact of our work.
This project will provide 100 adolescent girls with quality education and give them back the hope they need. It will also alleviate poverty for 20 young women who will sustain the project.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
