The ongoing crisis in the NW, SW Cameroon has caused refugees flow into Nigeria with many IDP's. There are currently more than 1,000,000 IDPs in NW,SW Cameroon according to the office of UNHCR.Ashong, a remote community in NW Cameroon has remained relatively peaceful. In 2018, COREDA started providing free education in a rental apartment in Ashong to orphans, vulnerable youths and IDP's. Many children keep knocking on our doors but COREDA did not have the PHYSICAL SPACE to accommodate them
Main solution at the moment which we are requesting for your support include: construction of a school of 12 permanent classrooms on a permanent site in Ashong to provide a conducive education to these children. The classrooms will offer elementary education to at least 240 children, blended with computer literacy, tailoring training, emotional and psychosocial support thereby helping these traumatized orphans,vulnerable youths and IDP's in desperate need of assistance to get back to school
This project will educate at least 240 children and allow them to rise out of illiteracy. The orphans, vulnerable youths and IDP's will received formal education which they would not have otherwise received. At least 1/4 of orphans, vulnerable youths and IDP's aged 13-17 years old will become self employed by the time they reaches 18 years old as a result of the vocational training. At least all of the orphans, vulnerable youths and IDP's will receive computer literacy to increase employability.
