We are raising funds to build a primary school in the rural Ebase-Bajoh village in the southwest region of Cameroon. The school will serve a remote village only accessible during limited times of the year over harsh terrain and across rivers that have no fords or bridges. The students of the village, ages 3-16 years, currently attend classes in a single rough structure made of a simple sticks, mud and a palm leaf roof. We plan to build two classrooms for the village.
The school serves a population of 500 in a remote village only accessible during limited times of the year over harsh terrain and across rivers that have no fords or bridges. The students of the village range in ages from 3-16 years and currently attend classes in a single rough structure made of a simple sticks, mud and a palm leaf roof. The closest more established school is several km away and, unfortunately, several children have lost their lives crossing the rivers along the way.
Building this school will provide a safe, local site for the education for these children. They will have a place for learning closer to their homes, and avoid the treacherous trek to the next closest school.
Initially about 145 kids will benefit directly from the project. While indirectly, the project will benefit further generations, the parents and relatives of these children, and the entire Ebase-Bajoh community, as well as the outlying communities of the southwest region of Cameroon.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
