Successes
Over the last few years, Children of Cameroon has completed some brilliant projects, with positive results for the children and the broader communities we work with.
Below is a small selection of these projects.
Art Parties
At our art parties, children from diverse areas of Cameroon gathered to unleash their creativity by creating beautiful handprints and artwork. These creations were made into Christmas decorations that brought our tree to life at the Crediton Christmas Tree Festival. The children not only revelled in the joy of painting but also enjoyed a healthy meal together, fostering community and connection.
Crediton Christmas Tree Festival
Children of Cameroon proudly participated in the Crediton Christmas Tree Festival. Our children showcased their artistic sides through decorations made from their original handprints and artwork. This event celebrated the children’s artistry, and we’re very proud to have shown our local community their artwork. The children did such a brilliant job, and their decorations, in our opinion, really stole the show.
Catch-Up Classes
In summer 2024, we launched a pilot program in Belo, providing specialised catch-up classes designed to enhance reading skills for our determined children. With eleven children participating in three lessons per week, incredible progress was made—averaging a two-level improvement in reading ability.
Christmas Dresses
Every child deserves to feel special during the holiday season. Our Christmas Dress Appeal ensures that children without sponsors can choose their own outfits, making Christmas a truly memorable occasion. With your support, we’ve enabled many children to select new outfits for Christmas. This is an aspect of Christmas many of the children feel strongly about, making it one of our most important and worthwhile projects. Learn how these outfits bring joy and pride to our children during this time of year.
Easter Swimming and Sports
Easter is a cherished time for our children, and following the success of 2023’s celebrations, we aimed to create unforgettable experiences once again in 2024. With a fun-filled day, including swimming lessons and lunch, the children reported to have had a brilliant day, and we’re happy to have created new friendships, as well as learning new skills, such as how to swim.
