These children are born in low-income families from which they sometimes abandon and neglect them hoping they die soon because they cannot not be useful to them and in the future.

Challenge

Children with disabilities in Cameroon face difficulties accessing education and medical services due to humanitarian crisis. This is because about 90% of these children are born in families facing financial hardship made worse by the ongoing crisis. These children are abandoned, neglected and locked up at home. Most of them die early, of which if given the opportunity, they can be empowered, gain access to life changing opportunities and live their full potentials.

Solution

This project will support 10 children with disabilities and sickle cell anemia and their families to provide livelihood, tuition, medical assistance and seed grants for economic empowerment and sustainability in Bamenda Cameroon.

Long-Term Impact

These children will continue to stay in school, be able to access health services, live life free from stigma in their communities. Their parents will continue to run small businesses and be economically empowered through small income generating activities that will sustain their livelihood and continue to pay academic tuition and medical services.
