Every Child is Ours project

Today, there are estimated over 143 million orphans in the world.  That  is  enough  children  to  go  three  times  around  the  world  at  the equator. The study indicates that the child poverty rate in Cameroon was 46.02% in 2007. Furthermore there exist disparities in the incidence of poverty within the country; households with children in rural areas are six times as likely to be at risk of poverty as compared with households with children in urban areas. In terms of deprivation, 64% of all children in Cameroon experience at least one form of severe deprivation, the most frequent of which is access to housing. Additionally, 30% of children lack access to food; 30% of children are deprived of access to information; and 20% of education. The situation of deprivation is significantly worse in rural areas. Therefore, one of the recommendations from the study is to focus on poverty reduction in the northern regions and rural areas, in order to address the significant geographic disparities in the country.  Many  NGO’s  are  doing  their  best  to  help those  children  in  needs  whether  by  running  activities,  or  running orphanages  which  are  taking  care  of  them.  There are also various programs that are run such as sponsoring a child, training them, giving soft skills formation.
