Cameroon School Fund - Phase 3
Tax deductible
Jenga Jumiuya* is currently raising funds for the construction of a primary school in the rural Ebase-Bajoh village in the southwest region of Cameroon, in cooperation with CENCUDER.**
The students of the Ebase-Bajoh village range in ages from 3-16 years and currently attend classes in a single rough structure made of a simple sticks, mud and a palm leaf roof. The school serves a population of 500 in a remote village only accessible during limited times of the year over harsh terrain and across rivers that have no fords or bridges.
Aim: The goal of this project is to construct two permanent classrooms for the village and equip these rooms with furniture -- desks, benches, and teacher's chairs and tables.
Cost: The overall project is expected to cost $25,000. Of that we have already raised the initial $10,000 to kick off the project (Phase 1 and 2 - THANK YOU!!!) and we are hoping to raise the remainder by the end of the year.
The initial phases included the construction of the foundation (Phase 1) and load-bearing walls (Phase 2).
The final phases will include the completion of the structure, including roof, windows and doors (Phase 3), desks, teacher's desks, tables and chalkboards (Phase 4).
Beneficiaries:
As with all projects facilitated by Jenga Jumuiya, a named that means "Building Community" in Swahili, the Ebase-Bajoh School Project is borne from the needs of the local community.
The project was requested directly by the community with the hope that by giving their children an opportunty to excel in life through education, the well-being of the community as a whole would improve, thereby breaking the cycle of poverty that currently exists.
Initially about 145 kids will benefit directly from the project. While indirectly, the project will benefit further generations, the parents and relatives of these children, and the entire Ebase-Bajoh community, as well as the outlying communities of the southwest region of Cameroon.
Our Process: As with all Jenga Jumuiya projects, we will be working directly with the community -- hand in hand -- to complete this project. The village has donated a significant plot of land for this project and will also help to provide the labor required for the construction, as well as coordinate the transportation and delivery of supplies to the site.
