Education is to empower, and to
enable.

In
2004/5 we administered the Cameroon Women's Scholarship
Programme. It offered ten one million fcfa grants to
help exceptional young Cameroonian women complete a
masters programme in Cameroon. The programme is now run
by by it's alumni. |
|||
We work with poorer communities, to help them help themselves, to build schools, community development progrmmes, and to become active confident citizens, solving their own problems. |
|||
We bring new ideas and new technologies to improve livelihoods in rural communities |
|||
|
|||
We work with
school education authorities, helping them provide
quality basic education.
|
|||
We
have organised IT equipment and resources that will
help deaf children at Njinikejem Baptist School Boyo
Division to learn vocational skills, and their hearing
class-mates to improve sign language communication .
|
|||
We are helping education authorities introduce Education for Sustainable Development into their schools, colleges and universities | |||
We designed and delivered a
programme to engage and prepare key stakeholders for
setting up and running medicinal plant gardens in
schools |
|||
The gardens will promote active and participatory teaching and learning, and help educators relate curriculum teaching to everyday issues and contexts |

We encourage teaching of leadership and citizenship skills in schools - helping education authorities to establish standards for school governance and school elections, and to integrate the principles behind these into everyday school life. Three booklets have been published, tested in ten schools, and are standard references in >50 schools in four regions. |
