To provide educational opportunities and cultural exchange to youth and adults.
Description
Manengouba Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization committed to providing educational opportunities and facilitating cultural exchange between academic institutions in Cameroon and in the United States.
Manengouba Foundation envisions developing a sustainable and replicable model for an effective educational program to bring value to rural education in Cameroon.
We supports the rural community of Nkongsamba, Cameroon, by offering educational opportunities that prepare underserved youth for success. Our innovative model integrates a rigorous practical program combined with athletic activities, which teaches life skills and provides hope.
We help prepare young adults to become productive citizens by providing a learning environment where they feel challenged, respected and accountable as they strive to find a way to grow, develop, and help to lift each other out of the poverty that characterizes this region.
We believe that education is the key to accomplishing our work. The skills and tools gained by youth will help them understand and resolve daily economic, social, moral and vocational challenges.
