OUR CHALLENGES and THE PROPPOSE SOLUTION

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 5 Mar 2017 04:09:00 -0800

OUR CHALLENGES

There are currently hundreds of orphaned and vulnerable children living in Kumbo Bui Division North West Region,Cameroon, identified by EKFAF in 2017.

These children have been identified as having lost one or both parents and they are living in extreme poverty.

Despite the fact that some NGO like SHUMAS and other work with many of these children, we are

planning to assist these children in their educational needs.

This is going to go a long way by rendering these children self reliance after when they obtain their vocational training through us.

Solution

The children would be receiving support from EKFAF till their vocational training and also trained in the school on basic literacy and numeracy skills.
We would also give them the opportunity to learn vocational skills in vocational training centers of their choices.
Above all they will be mentally and emotionally stable thereby improving on their performances in any field they find themselves,.

DISTRIBUTION OF SCHOOL SHOES

Just like in last school year in addition to school fees for all these children, over 600 pair of school shoes were distributed to 600 children an initiative that was very much welcome and appreciated by the indigenes of these villages.

The various school where shoes were distributed are, G S Tadu, I PS Mbveh, IPS Tadu, IPS Bamkikai all in kumbo Bui Division and Nkum Sub Division of North West Region Cameroon.

Below are the evident pictures of the distribution of schools shoes

Here where we had one of our greatest achievements as a child by name Aishatou

ISLAMIC PRIMARY SCHOOL BAMKIKAI KUMBO BUI DIVISION

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:15:00 -0800

In this school, we paid the school fees of a girl child in class five by name Moniratu Shalanyuy in the past years.

She has greatly improved in her performance in her academic due to the fact that she can now go to school with a calm mind. This is because she now has almost all her books, uniform, school fees thanks to EKFAF.

ISLAMIC PRIMARY SCHOOL TADU, KUMBO BUI DIVISION

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:13:00 -0800

Last September 2016 just like in last year 2015 in this school we paid school fees of a girl child by name Adeza Tafida Javnyuy in class four.

We started paying her fees since 2014. This is an underprivileged with very little or no financial means to sponsor herself in basic education. Before we came in to assist this child she use to go to school barefooted no books not to talk of being able to pay school fees but now she can do almost all of that thanks to our assistance.

GOVERNMENT SCHOOL TADU

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:11:00 -0800

we paid the PTA levee of a girl by name Jaff Morijanatu in class five.

This child is very intelligent but lack sufficient means to educate her in the primary level. So, our intervention created a very big impact in this family since 2013/2014 academic year.

ISLAMIC PRIMARY SCHOOL MBVEH

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:00:00 -0800

In this school year just like in last year we still paid the school fees of a girl child by name Mohamadu Hadisa Musa.

This time around in class four she is not an orphan but an underprivileged and not even able to go through the primary level thank to EKFAF that she can now go school with ease.

OUR ACTIVITIES

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:57:00 -0800

EKFAF in 2016/2017 as in last school year still did her best in the number of activities that continue to improve the life of orphans and underprivileged in the locality of kumbo Bui Division North West Region Cameroon.

The five children were maintain as their school fees and other school needs were given as usual. As in last year we still gave out over 500 pair of chose to orphans and underprivileged children this school year.

One important achievement we had was one underprivileged girl child by name Aishatou who graduated from primary six and she is now in form one still enjoying our support. The financial difficulty is still our main problem making us not to accomplish our project as plan presently we still have a very important project standing still to look for the funds.

IPS School Taakija

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 12:32:00 -0800

We also gave about 100 pairs of shoes to needy children in this school IPS Taakija. They receive the gift and express some word of gratitude as some testified that they were going to help them so much as they were almost coming to school bare footed education is the same as that of a boy.

We were mostly keeping the shoes to be distributed on our behave for us to catch up with time in another school and only few children could hold the shoes for snap short.

Women's Days Celebration

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 12:22:00 -0800

Since we are working on empowering young women in North West region, we deemed it necessary to do some sensitization.

During the last week to the celebration of women day we also are participating by sensitizing the public on the importance of gender equality and a girl’s child education.

This was done using the social media that is in CRTV North West and Ndefcam community Radio. in

CRTV we CEO went there on the 3rd of march and he also went to Ndedfacam on the 7th of march 2016.

The two program were very successful as the it was an interactive one where the lines were open and the public calling and asking questions as well as appreciating the good work we are doing.

During the preparation of women day 2016 EKFAF was not left out the CEO went to some radios in North West region of Cameroon.

Our main objective was to sensitize the public on the importance of gender equality and career woman. In addition to this he also made the public to know that a girl child education is the same as that of a boy.

On the 3rd of March he was in CRTV north west from 5am to 6am the program was interactive where lines were open and the public were calling and asking questions.

On the 7th of March at 2pm he also went to one local and popular radio Ndefcam radio.

Education was done and the promotion of the association was done . it was really a great occasion as many people came to know about the association.

Problem Faced

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 12:17:00 -0800

Since we started this association in 2011 we have had lots of obstacle starting from registering the association and carrying out the activities.

Most of our obstacles centre mostly on the finances thanks to our understanding members who are trying very hard to overcome these obstacles. Each year we draw a budget and this budget entails much money.

We have always have problem as we hardly have enough of what we need. Amongst all the members only few are working. While some are waiting for salary as they are newly integrated in the public service making it difficult for us to effectively carry on our activities as stated.

Some parents are not cooperating with us to help us achieve our goal. Some just think that we came in to help they will just abandon everything to us to do.

Like in the case where the child we are helping is practicing truancy and the parents are doing nothing about it or parents not buying the child exercise books when they get finish in the middle of the school year.

Most of these problems are to be managed by the parents because we are not always there all the times.

Since we ever started we have been having but budget deficit that is why we never executed the intended project for any academic year at all These children that need our assistance are many we seriously need a second or third party to help us increase the number of children we are working with at least up to ten children in whole Bui Division.

All we can do is to assist the few we can and we equally need assistance from other association who are out to carry out similar or the same activities as us to help facilitate the education of these poor needy children.

Introduction

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 12:10:00 -0800

We maintained the five children we started with since last academic year.

From the five primary schools in Bui division and Nkum sub division. School shoes were also given to more than seven hundred children. It was given only to those who were in need of them.

About EKFAF

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 07:04:00 -0700

Educating Kids For A Future (EKFAF) is a Non-Profit making organization that was founded in 2011with the status of an Association or Non-Governmental Organization. However, it began operating in 2013. It is legally recognized by the Cameroon government.Our authorization no. 58/E.291111/VOL.8/ALPAS.

a. Objectives:

Our main objective is to assist orphans and underprivileged children in primary schools of Bui Division to ensure that they have access to basic education.

Our three specific objectives are;

Support education through provision of basic school needs to unprivileged.

Encourage Muslims girl child education through community awareness.

Support underprivileged parents with sustainable means to sponsor their children.

a.    Our Activities and Programs:

      Promoting and encouraging the education of the poor and vulnerable children by supporting them both financially and materially so as to meet up with their educational needs.

      Fostering or enhancing the education, caring and training of children especially the underprivileged and promoting their academic/professional/vocational training through special scholarships for intelligent/hardworking but needy children.

      Fighting ignorant illiteracy there by reducing the incidence of early marriage of the girl child and child abuse.

      Providing career counselling through sensitization campaigns to assist children to make better choices in their educational preferences and career choices.

aPrevious Achievements:

EKFAF is already effectively assisting to sponsor 5 orphans/less privileged children in some 5 schools in Bui Division since the 2013/2014 academic year.

Since 2013, we have distributed shoes to more than 700 vulnerable pupils/children in the primary schools.

Problem to be Resolved:

In our target areas, over 35% of both the orphans and poor children do not have access to quality education while some do not even have access to education at all. This eventually leads to early marriages especially among Muslim girl teenagers, school dropouts and increased crime waves in the society just to name the few. We are deeply concerned by the deplorable situations these children find themselves in and we desire to bring change to their lives, but we are limited by financial and material resources. We thus, require funding. This provides the premise for this proposal in the quest to obtain assistance that will guarantee a future for our target groups.
