Cameroon: Cleanups in the neighborhood of our centers

In Bangangté, we have set up a monthly campaign to clear out litter around the center. Raising environmental awareness among the children is very important to us.  And after the cleanup, we don’t forget to ask our children to wash their hands with the soap generously offered by the Hilton Yaoundé Hotel!

Partnership: Das Welt Auto supports the installation of solar panels in our centres

Thanks to its support and its USD17,691 donation, Das Welt Auto has enabled Serge Betsen Academy to install solar panels at its Bafia and Bangangté centres. Local firm Hias Consulting carried out the work.

We now have 10 panels in Bangangté and 6 in Bafia. These supply the centres and make up for the events of supply reduction on the grid, as happens only too often unfortunately in these towns of Cameroon.

All our children and young adults can therefore work, study and learn thanks to our computers and the centres’ lights after nightfall, which is around 6pm year-round in this part of the world.

Thanks again to Das Welt Auto for making the tutoring sessions so much more comfortable for our students.
