Project Description Project Title: Enriching Lives Through Education of Less Privileged Kids at Sanpit Primary School, Buea This project aims to transform the lives of underprivileged children attending Sanpit Primary School in Buea by providing them with access to quality education and essential learning resources. Many of these children come from low-income families and lack the basic tools necessary for academic success, such as school supplies, uniforms, and educational support. Through this initiative, we seek to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that empowers children to reach their full potential. The project will provide school materials, facilitate after-school tutoring, and organize mentorship sessions focused on building confidence, literacy, and life skills. By addressing both educational and emotional needs, the project will not only improve academic performance but also promote self-esteem and long-term development. Our goal is to break the cycle of poverty by giving these children a fair chance at a brighter, more secure future.

Project History

The idea for this project was born in early 2023 after a community assessment revealed that many children at Sanpit Primary School were struggling academically due to poverty-related challenges. Teachers reported high rates of absenteeism, lack of school materials, and poor academic performance among children from low-income families. In response, concerned community members and volunteers from the Nature Conservation and Development Association (NACODAS) initiated small-scale support by donating books, uniforms, and providing weekend tutoring sessions. Encouraged by the positive impact, the project was formally structured in 2024 to scale its reach and sustainability. Collaborations were established with local stakeholders, school authorities, and parents to identify the most urgent needs and ensure community ownership. Today, the project continues to grow, with an expanded vision to offer long-term educational support, life skills training, and emotional well-being programs for the most vulnerable children in the school and surrounding communities.

We also aim to support after-school tutoring sessions to improve literacy and numeracy skills.

True Story:

In the small town of Buea, nestled at the foot of Mount Cameroon, lives a bright-eyed 8-year-old girl named Atem Blessing. She walks barefoot every morning along the dusty path to Sanpit Primary School, her worn-out exercise book clutched tightly in hand. Her mother, a single parent, sells roasted plantains by the roadside to make ends meet. Most days, they go to bed with just one meal. When our team first met Atem Blessing, she was sitting under a mango tree, trying to copy notes from a class she couldn’t attend that day because she lacked basic supplies -no books, no pen, and no uniform. Still, she smiled and said, "I want to be a nurse so I can help my mother when she’s sick." It was this moment that moved us deeply and reminded us why we started this education support project . To break the cycle of poverty through learning. We bought Atem Blessing her first schoolbag, shoes, and uniform, and covered her school fees. Today, she is top of her class and volunteers to read aloud every morning. Her confidence has bloomed like a jacaranda tree in the rainy season. Her story is not unique, but it is powerful. Every child like Atem Blessing deserves the chance to learn and grow not just survive.
