Keeping Girls in School: NGO Launches “Educate Her Now” Project

Njobati Sylvie, the founder of the Sysy House of Fame has launched a yearly scholarship program for young girls called “Educate her now, she can’t wait anymore”, starting 2021/2022 academic year.

According to her, the scholarship scheme is meant to reintegrate teenage mothers between 12-20 years back to school in the Mezam division of the North West Region of Cameroon and equally to support internally displaced girls of primary school age to gain access to education.

National and international structures like World Vision, an international organization bringing “Hope, Joy and Justice to all children” have observed that nearly one million pregnant sub-Saharan African girls may be blocked from returning to school following COVID-19.

Not only are the Anglophone parts of Cameroon suffering from COVID-19, they have been plagued by an armed conflict for almost five years with women and children bearing the highest toll just as in COVID-19.
