Supplies Distributed to Six Schools in Garoua, Cameroon

Because of your continued support students in six schools in the Garoua 1 District of Garoua, Cameroon recently received school supplies. The students at each school were delighted to receive the school supplies.

The supplies were recently distributed in partnership with the US Army in Cameroon and Spirit of America. Your donations helped cover some of the administrative and logistics costs. 

One of the US Army soldiers that participated in the distribution explained that: 

After only three schools, I can genuinely say this is one of the most fulfilling projects of my Army career so far. Each school welcomed us with a school-wide ceremony, including speeches, dances, skits, and songs. The School Inspector said that most students are well aware that American entities periodically provide donations throughout Garoua and it is a big motivator for them to perform better in the classroom. In one of the exciting side effects of this project, these events also open the door for us to possibly work even more with each school on larger scale projects like better facilities or water points. This goes a long way for maintaining strong relationships between our team and the local education system.

Your support is making a difference for these deserving children in Cameroon.  We encourage you to consider starting a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.

 

Families in Sierra Leone face unprecedented challenges due to rising costs. Inflation makes it difficult for them to afford basic food staples such as rice, cooking oil, and onions.

Extending a helping hand can alleviate a significant burden and provide essential relief to the less fortunate.

Give the Gift of Joy This New Year 🎁


You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
