Send 85 Children to School for 1 Year in Cameroon

Better Family Foundation in an effort to assess the impact of the project on the lives of the benefaciary children and their families, organized an evaluation meeting bringing together all the children and their parents or guardians involved in the project.

During the meeting all the children's report cards were critically examined one by one. The children were asked to explain their strengths and weaknesses. Parents or guardians were equally asked to explain how the project has affected the lives of their children as well as that of their entire families.

Better Family Foundation staff sought to know the role of the parents/guardians in making the children to study effectively. Each of the parents/guardian stated the role he or she played in the education of his or her child. They equally pointed out some of weaknesses of the project and made possible recommendations for improvement.

The following outcomes were realised at the end of the meeting:

Only one pupil failed during the second term examination and the rest had excellent results.

Parents/guardians were happy that the project has improved on their economic status.

Parent also pleaded on BFF authorities to organize such evaluation meetings frequently.

They thanked all the donors towards this project through BFF.

After the last report Better Family Foundation (BFF) was opportune to raise additional funds and decided to sponsor an additional twenty two (22) students from secondary schools. In order to ensure transparency and fairness to all the students around, the BFF staff went round the government secondary schools in Fundong and its vicinity to sensitize all the students on all what it takes to benefit from Better Family Foundation sponsorship. This was later followed by home visits to the prospective beneficiaries in order to ensure that they are really from underprivileged backgrounds.

 In cases were the parents had struggled to pay all the fee, we used the money to pay for children’s final year examinations or buy textbooks for the concerned with the money depending on the situation at hand.

It should be noted that we have also being holding evaluation meetings with the students to monitor the progress of the program.

BFF on behalf of the students and their parents wish to thank all our donors for helping to give hope for these needy Cameroonians.
