Can you imagine the stress of trying to revise with out-of-date books, or even no books at all? That’s the reality facing a generation of students affected by ten years of conflict in Cameroon.

Noela, a student at the University of Bamenda in Cameroon, revised for her Accountancy Degree using books provided by supporters like you.

This summer, will you help provide the brand-new books that give more students like Noela a fair chance to pass?
