Continued Stakeholder Engagement!

By Dungrila Pascal Mbimenyuy | Project Leader.

Education is the key to success and peace as it's often said, however, this can only become a reality when there is equality, accessibility and affordability in every society.

In Cameroon and elsewhere in other African Countries, accessibility and affordability to quality education is often a privillage and not a right due to persistent poverty and inequality in many societies. Children residing in remote areas and those affected by armed conflict and forced displacement and poverty do not have access to quality education, creating a pathway for generational poverty.

In 2023, Integrated Agricultural Association (IAA) which work to improve the living conditions of communities across Cameroon, consulted different stakeholder groups and identified a lack of classrooms and other facilities crucial for quality education, at the Government Bilingual Primary School Mogni-Kouffen, Foumbot, Cameroon. At that time the enrollment was 700+, 3 years later, it has increased to over 1000 pupils.

IAA created a fundraising campaign to buil classrooms, toilets and water facilities to improve learning environment for pupils and teachers. Since then, $7,271 raised in 3 years through 54 donations of $35,000 goal, and $27,729 to go. Due to a decline on global funding, climate change, pressure on resources and economic challenges, the fundraising campaign has not been progressing lately.

In response, IAA has resort to continue consultation with community members, education stakeholders, elites and other Private Foundations to request for immediate financial and material support to get the construction works off the ground quickly, so that children would be able to learn like their peers in cities and other areas.

Consider increasing your donation today, so that together we will make a difference in our community.

With gratitude!

Ongoing community and stakeholder mobilization!

By Dungrila Pascal Mbimenyuy. | I.A.A Director/Project Leader.

The project with objective to help provide quality education to 700 pupils in Mogni-Kouffen community in Foumbot area who do not have access and support in education is progressing with regular consultations with stakeholders, elites and community members. This project will construct two classrooms, administrative office, teachers' toilet, two toilets for female and male children and build a well with hand pump, improve sanitation for better health and to ensure a conducive learning environment for pupils and teachers of GBPS Mogni-Kouffen, in Foumbot, west region of Cameroon.

We have held a seriest of consultative meetings involving parent teachers association (PTA), Traditional chiefs, Elites and community members, aimed at soliciting their support and increasing fundraising efforts both locally and on GlobalGiving. People informed and contacted have expressed their unwavering support for this project, which has resulted in securing $350 donation from the community.

The fundraiser for this project was raised in 2021 with hope to reach the goal of $35000 within the shortest period possible. Unfortunately, due to global economic hardships and urgency of climate, many donors have massively shifted their donations toward climate change initiatives. Given the local socioeconomic, environment and social context, IAA needs to raise at least 50% of its goal to be able to launch the construction works to it full capacity. November to March is the best period for building construction in Cameroon especially in rural villages where they commondly use sun dry blocks and for projects with limited budgets.

We have $27,730 to go, make a difference today to help us build classrooms and equip with benches. Your donation through GlobalGiving will go a long way, every $1 you invest in this project will serve over 25000 children for up to 10 years. Thank you for being part of our donor community.

With gratitudes!

Construction Plan in Progress!

By Dungrila Pascal Mbimenyuy. | I.A.A Director/Project Leader.

With the goal to bring quality education closer to communities most in need, Integrated Agricultural Association (IAA) will help over 700 pupils in Mogni-Kouffen community in Foumbot area who do not have access and support in education, by building and equiping modern classrooms to ensure a conducive learning environment for children and teachers. IAA has done the building cost estimates for two classrooms and is in discussion with several people to secure funding and support.

Currently, there is inflation in Cameroon and everything is becoming more and more expensive, including building and construction materials, technical labour cost etc. To start with ground and foundation work effectively, we need to have 50% cash of $35,000 to make sure we can raise walls and put roofing to avoid being damaged by rain and strong winds. The existing structure which was constructed by the community has been destroyed by heavy rains and strong winds recently, calling for additional attention. Given that IAA cares deeply about the education of these children, plank classrooms that existed before have been modernized to be used for the main time while fundraising continues.

It should also be noted that Integrated Agricultural Association, had environmental education sessions with over 340 pupils in this village primary school and donated 5 trash cans to five classes to foster recycling practices in the classroom. The environmental education sessions focused on waste management, climate change and mitigation. Children were taught on the impacts of climate change, poor waste management, causes of climate change and what to do in their communities to protect the planet earth. Children promised to influence their parents to reduce the use chemical inputs on farms and how to turn organic waste into health soil. They promised to remind their parents that planting trees on farms and reducing burning of forest and or felling of trees will lead to improved soil fertility, and reduction in their carbon footprint on agriculture (green gass emissions).

With the recent destruction of old classrooms by winds, we need to act very quickly to restore learning in this community. When you donate today through GlobalGiving, you are helping vulnerable children to learn in good classrooms that are safe for them. We need $27,730 more money to go, please act now.

Thank you for being part of our supporter community at GlobalGiving. We appreciate every bit of your committment.
