Impact Creators

Impact Creators is obliged to suspend two of its new national projects launched last year in Cameroon because of the ongoing political stalemate between the government of Cameroon and Anglophone Teachers and Common Law Lawyers that has caused schools to closed since November 21 2016.

The "1 Tablet 1 Student Excellence Award" project that was suppose to run from 2016-2019 in all 10 Regions of Cameroon; awarding 7 inch Android tablets to meritorious young leaders has thus been suspended till further notice.

We had already paid 50% of the tuition of the three beneficiaries of our pioneer "She Read2Lead" Scholarships for Underprivileged Girls and were working on completing their tuitions last month, January 2017. Claudette, the physically challenged girl we visited at CEFED in Santa, NWR was going to be our fourth beneficiary with the intention to have her scholarship as a special need girl child renewed every year. Unfortunately the project too is suspended till further notice.

However, we will remain in contact with the institutions, the parents, public and private education stakeholders as we pray that the situation normalises. Impact Creators is a growing and committed social enterprise promoting education for citizen entrepreneurship for all, irrespective of social background.

Thank you for all your likes and words of encouragement.

When Jesus traveled from heaven to earth, He used a round-trip ticket with stops along the way. He left the throne for the manger, the manger for the cross, the cross for the tomb, and the tomb for the throne. He left blessings behind at every stop. He emptied Himself so we might be filled. That’s the true story of Christmas. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year 2017 to all our followers and supporters.

Cameroon: Call for Restraint, Concerns Over Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms

Diplomatic statements in the eyes of the common man could be just business as usual but I have confident they go beyond words and "Calls".

We call on all parties to exercise restraint, refrain from further violence, an...

How on earth can one justify the fact that 25 point GCE A/L scorers sell sim cards while 6 point scorers glide smoothly into the University of Buea medical school? Impact Creators, a non-profit social enterprise promoting education for citizen entrepreneurship unequivocally condemns the "francophonization" of the Anglophone sub-system of education. We support the Anglophone Teachers' Trade Unions' call on the Cameroon "...Government to be more transparent in its management of admissions into Medical and other professional Schools in the Universities of Buea and Bamenda, where Anglophone students were numerically marginalized and where the heroes of the Cameroon GCE seemed to have no place. Students with twenty points fail, while those with six points pass easily...Anglophone students continue to be sent to Medical institutions they did not chose...Government's silence especially the indifference of the Minister of Higher Education means the Anglophones can go to hell. It is government policy to discriminate, alienate, humiliate and disenfranchise Anglophones. The Anglophone "Teachers' Trade Unions and Associations of Anglophone extraction - SYNES-UB, CATTU, TAC, PEATTU, CEWOTU, BATTUC and Parents, under the banner of UPTA hereby declare an indefinite strike action beginning on Monday 21 November 2016. During this strike there shall be a definite shutdown of all schools, public, private and confessional; from nursery, primary, secondary to university under the English sub-system until definite steps are taken by the Government to stop the plunder of the Anglophone education...Anglophones can no longer stay silent in the face of such mounting injustice, we cannot stand idly by, while our educational heritage suffers genocide. Enough of the neglect, enough of the disregard and abuse."

Information gotten through Social Enquiry/Identification Forms facilitated Impact Creators' project Scholarship for Underprivileged Girls in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. The parents and/or guardians barely save enough to feed their families as they strive under the scourging sun. Our focus are the girls with incredible results who we hope to contribute in giving them an educational future beyond borders.

When we choose to remain on the ground when we fall (failure), that to me is the worse form of failure. When we choose to blame the circumstances and point fingers when we touch bottom, and make no effort to prove "them" and/or the circumstances wrong, we become even a bigger failure to ourselves and to those who look up to us. Trust me, somebody is looking up to you.

Impact Creators on the 16 of September, 2016 visited the Center for Empowerment of Females with Disabilities (CEFED) in Santa Sub division, in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. The Center accommodates both the physically & mentally challenged, Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCs) of both s*x and all ages. The primary objective of our visit was to carry a need assessment of the educational & physiotherapeutic needs of the OVCs. CEFED is going to be the first beneficiary of our upcoming social project . Claudette, a primary 4 girl without arms using her feet & toes to open her book and write, is more than an inspiration. The challenges of the center are just so much and many other such centers in Cameroon. We will be recruiting interested national/international volunteers, fundraisers, physiotherapists and any other person to join our pool of in Cameroon.

Room to Read

Every effort to support the education of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC), no matter how minimal counts enormously. It is in line with this that will launch the pilot phase of its OVC Scholarship by awarding books and other educational material to a group of OVCs in the days ahead. More specific details coming up.

The 2016 Report UNESCO, shows that, on current trends, contrary to global commitments for 2030, universal primary education will be achieved in 2042; universal lower secondary completion in 2059; and universal upper secondary completion in 2084. Bit.ly/sdg4all
