An educational emergency in Melong II
Located in the Littoral region of Cameroon, the village of Melong II, in the municipality of Baré-Bakem, has around 1,749 inhabitants.
The area has been heavily affected by rural exodus, the decline of coffee farming and the economic consequences of the COVID-19 crisis.
This situation has weakened many families and directly impacted children’s learning conditions.
Faced with these challenges, the headteacher of Saint-Marc school reached out to Hand on Heart e.V. for support.
Thanks to a €3,000 donation from Sparkasse Saarbrücken, the organization was able to support 76 out of 111 students.
This intervention marked the beginning of a solidarity-driven initiative for education and equal opportunities.
