SAMDA FOUNDATION OFFERS DIDACTICS TO BOOST SCHOOLING IN BALIGASHU – NORTH WEST REGION OF CAMEROON

The donation was within the context of a visit to the community, led by its Chief Executive Officer, CEO of SAMDA Foundation Cameroon, Elvis SAMA, and Field Coordinator of
the foundation, KEGAH Kelvin GUKA. According to the donors, the gesture is to assist kids blocked at home due to the armed conflict in the North West and South West Regions. The goal, officials of SAMDA Foundation Cameroon said, is to ensure a good start of the 2024/2025 academic year. In a statement, the CEO of the foundation said: “We believe in the potential of every child and that education is the key to unlocking that potential. Yet, due to financial constraints, education is an unattainable luxury for many children, especially with the ongoing crisis”.

Commitment to empowering communities
Investing in the future of children, SAMA also said, is part of SAMDA Foundation Cameroon’s
commitment to empowering communities through education, advocacy and other activities.
“Through this program, we intend to encourage the less privilege as well as orphans to have
access to education, which is part of their fundamental rights,” Sama remarked.

Recipients shower praises on SAMDA Foundation
In soul-touching reactions after receiving the gifts, some of the beneficiaries expressed gratitude
to SAMDA Foundation Cameroon for coming to their aid. One of them, a Class Six pupil,
said it was the first time in her life that she was having a school bag. The pupil said she had been
used to holding her books in the hand or using wrappings. She thanked the benefactors for beautifying her school life. A Form Three student who received a school bag, 15 exercise books, five pens and three pencils, said she for the past two years, she had never had more than six 60
leaves exercise books.
