Our Progress To Date

NOW FUNDED … 258 classrooms at 82 schools!

In 2007 we were delighted to help rebuild a school in the  village of Ntseimbang. We thought our job was finished … but we were wrong!
In 2008, we had raised enough funds to build  four more schools at Menjung, Quebessi, Bamali and Roh Meluf.
By 2009, sufficient funds had come in to build another seven schools, at Njap, Fungeh, Mbande, Njinikejem, Kumbo, Ndzevru and Achailam – and we realised that we were obviously doing something right!!
2010 saw the number of schools we managed to rebuild increase dramatically.  A total of forty-nine classrooms at twelve schools were funded by our supporters that year, in the villages of Ngali, Mambain, Bamessing, Mbah, Vekovi, Bamali, Nseh Makop, Nkartsen, Dzeng and Bamdzeng.
In 2011, ten more schools were constructed at Ber, Buh, Lassin, Jakiri, Ndengue, Abang, Muteff, Mayo Darle, Goulfey and Ndegvaya – and we added an extra classroom to a school constrcted by AidCamps International in Tubah. We had spread our wings and were now building in the North West, North, West and Extreme North regions. 
In 2012, eight more schools were constructed in the villages of Idenau, Mbot, Makanene and Nseh and in the Bangourain area. We were making our presence felt in the South West, West and Centre regions too. 
2013 saw twelve more schools under construction in Koumenke, Mfe, Djafga, Sangmalima, Biakoa, Ngouetou, Ouro Boubi, Rifem, Kishiy, Kiyan, Nkar and Kale-Kittiwum.
By 2014 the two-year major development project in Kumbo Central (NW region) was completed with the opening of the Roh Kimbo River Bridge, the Kovifem Health Centre and the Taa-Mbveh Water Supply. New school buildings were also built at EP NgoKop, GBSS Makanene, GTC Ntigi-Bambili, GTC Nkeung, GSS Mbve and, CNS Manjo.
2015 has seen new classrooms blocks constructed at another THIRTEEN schools in five different regions – including our first ever projects in the East region.  We have managed to fund more than 30 classrooms altogether at the following schools:  PS Rifem, IPS Rifem,  GBNS Ntoh Mbiame, GTC  Mbiame and BSS Sabongari in the NW region, EP Waifi, EP de Bagara in the Extreme North, EP Salle, CES Mongonam, Maria Sylvester Technical School in the East, GNS Nchemba 2, GSS Nchemba 2 in the SW region and EP Ngoukong in the West.  It was a bumper year!  We were also able to fund the construction of boreholes with hand pumps at six schools in the Far North region so that children in this very arid region can enjoy clean drinking water at their schools.
2016 has got off to a great start with eight schools being funded, GS Keonom, CS Boyui and GS Nketisoh in the NW region and EP Mayel-Ibbe, CES Dama, EP Zouave, CS St Patrick and Lycée de Mogom in the Extreme North region.  
The pictures below show the projects that were handed over earlier this year – and those that where we are now in process of constructing new classrooms to replace the existing structures.
