Project Summary Children with disabilities in Cameroon’s Anglophone crisis zones face double vulnerability—living with physical or mental impairments while also being affected by an ongoing socio-political conflict that has disrupted education and social systems. One of the most urgent needs identified is mobility support, particularly wheelchairs. Without mobility aids, many children with physical disabilities are unable to access classrooms or participate in learning. This project seeks to restore dignity, access, and hope by providing wheelchairs and mobility support to enable inclusive education for vulnerable children. The Challenge Disabled children in the Anglophone crisis zones are largely excluded from education due to the lack of mobility support. The conflict has damaged school infrastructure, reduced inclusive services, and increased poverty, making assistive devices unaffordable for families. As a result: Many children with physical disabilities cannot reach or move safely within school environments. Children experience marginalization, isolation, and low self-esteem. Long-term educational and economic opportunities are severely limited. Without intervention, these children risk being permanently excluded from education and community life. The Solution This project promotes educational inclusion by providing wheelchairs and mobility support to children with physical disabilities. The intervention will: Enable Access to Education: Wheelchairs will allow children to safely reach schools and navigate classrooms independently. Promote Participation and Inclusion: Improved mobility will empower children to actively participate in lessons and social activities alongside their peers. Support Crisis-Affected Families: Reducing the burden on caregivers while restoring children’s right to education and dignity. Long-Term Impact The project will create sustainable, life-changing outcomes, including: Increased school enrollment and retention for disabled children. Improved quality of life and future employment opportunities. Reduced stigma and discrimination within communities. Stronger advocacy for inclusive education policies and practices. Empowerment of children with disabilities as confident, future community leaders. Project Status Total Goal: $20,000 Remaining Balance: $19,998 Donors: 3 Monthly Donors: 0 Project Duration: 9 months
