School re-opening for academic year 2024/2025 has been encouraging with the call for resumption, most parents are not able to provide basic education needs for their children with the economic crisis, parents are unable to meet up the basic needs especially school needs for their children. FFTLF therefore, provided basic materials including rubbing oil. This scheme targeted children from Bafoussam sub-division. The following criteria were used for the selection of beneficiaries.

Pupils or students who are already enrolled in school that are IDPs
Children who have lost one or both parents (this was verified from the community and neighbourhood).
60% of the beneficiaries were girls participants during the event included beneficiaries parents and guardians and wells as some executive members of FFTLF.

The main objective was to facilitate access to quality education for children (vulnerable children, IDPs and orphans in Bafousam 2 sub-division precisely at Maetur).

This was to raise parent’s awareness on the importance of education to children especially during this period of crisis because education cannot wait.

It was also aimed at purchasing and providing writing materials for vulnerable primary and secondary school children.

The handing ceremony took place at Maetur junction. The venue is central accessible and secured for beneficiary coming from all different directories. A total of 50 participants including youths, children, guardian, parent and executive members of FFTLF. From the 60 participants were 40 (29girls, 11boys) beneficiaries, 15parent and 5 executive members. School materials included: exercise books, pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, rain coats.
