Every child has a right to an education

"The world of tomorrow depends to a large extent on the imagination of those who are learning to read now" wrote the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Without our children, there is no future! Children give hope, they give joy, and we can learn so much from them.

For this reason, the education of children and young people is of great concern to ETHENEA and we have been supporting the non-profit organisation Ashia for many years. Ashia works to help destitute people and families, especially children, in Cameroon. Their work focuses on building and equipping schools, orphanages and hospitals, constructing water wells and providing education and access to vital surgical care.

With our support, two primary schools have already been built in Ngouma in 2020 and Gomdjor in 2022 (Cameroon). Because there is such a significant need in Cameroon, we have decided to support the construction of two more primary schools. 

One of these schools has already been completed in early 2023 and is located in the village of Mayo Foorou Ngoun Minguem, where around 600 people live from cattle farming and agriculture. The second school in our school construction project was also completed in early 2024 in the village of Ganni, replacing leaky thatched huts. These two schools will provide many more children with an essential education from first to sixth grade.
