Cyril is a 10-year-old boy from Belo in Cameroon's Boyo region. Born in 2014, he currently lives with a family friend who stepped in to provide care when his circumstances changed. Initially raised by his aunt after his mother faced challenges in caring for him, Cyril's living situation shifted again during the regional crisis when his aunt's income became insufficient to support him.

Despite these transitions in his young life, Cyril maintains a bright outlook and clear aspirations. He particularly enjoys his ICT and Citizen Education classes at school, showing an aptitude for both technical and social subjects. Looking to the future, Cyril dreams of attending university and becoming a civil engineer—a goal that builds on his current interest in construction.

When not in school, Cyril takes on small responsibilities at home, sometimes helping care for younger children and babies in the household. He enjoys playing football with his neighbourhood friend and values friendship highly, explaining that good relationships "make people happy." His weekends often include practical tasks like washing his uniform and clothes, showing his developing sense of responsibility. Cyril's favourite colour is red, and he particularly enjoys meals with rice. For special occasions, his idea of celebration is simple but meaningful—"to eat enough and enjoy it."

Your sponsorship would ensure Cyril can attend school consistently with all necessary materials—uniform, textbooks, and stationery. This is a particularly crucial time in his education, as consistent support now could help him avoid the interruptions that many older children in our programme have experienced. Beyond education, your support would help provide nutritious food for Cyril and his household, access to healthcare when needed, and essentials like clothing and shoes.

We keep our sponsors connected through monthly updates that include recent photographs and reports on Cyril's activities and progress. You'll see how your contribution directly supports his development and well-being. With sponsorship options beginning at £25 per month, you can help Cyril build toward his engineering aspirations while addressing his immediate needs.
