Children Educational Empowerment Association Cameroon joined with EYUMEMA Buea Branch, to support 50 internally displaced women and girls from Manyu Division and 11 trainees of the Women Empowerment Center with economic empowerment kits through its back-to-school program.

Today, this activity that is being implemented by Eyumema Buea branch is very, very timely because the world over is celebrating the International Day of the Girl Child. Exercise books, pens, pencils and other learning materials can make a difference as they return to the classroom.

These are beneficiaries of an initiative by Children Educational Empowerment Association Cameroon and Manyu Women for Empowerment, EYUMEMA Buea branch, during an event in Buea on Sunday, October 11 to mark the International Day of the Girl Child.
This is a day, we call upon all to recognize the rights of the girl child, identify the challenges they face and Celebrate the potentials In every girl child. So when we look at the activities that is taking place here today, I say it is very, very timely because Children Educational Empowerment Association Cameroon with EYUMEMA has supported 50 young girls, women with back-to-school kids and 11 trainees from the Women Empowerment Center with economic empowerment kits. So this is very, very important and it's laudable. For the beneficiaries, the support comes with the renewed hope for their education and future plans.
