Programme
School materials and school fees so that displaced and underprivileged children stay in class.
Where: Douala, Limbe
Conflict and poverty push children out of school. Our back-to-school campaign gives underprivileged and displaced children the basics they need to learn, and pays school fees when families cannot.
Planned work, subject to funding.
600+
displaced children equipped for school
Our journey
August 2020Back to School
With the Elone Foundation, Syndy Emade and her family visit a school in Limbe to talk with students about the virus. They bring face masks, hand sanitiser, buckets and thermometers, more than the school’s student count, so classes can stay open safely.

Weeks after its launch, the Foundation’s back-to-school campaign reaches children displaced from the North-West and South-West. Nursery and primary pupils, chosen door to door among the poorest families, receive exercise books, textbooks and school bags: more than 600 children in all.
