BABANKI EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT FUND

We are a small group of educators from Babanki, northwest Cameroon, who have come together to support the education of underprivileged children in the village.  As linguists, the four board members understand the usefulness of mother tongue education. Each of us was privileged to go through the difficult education system of Cameroon and are now willing to invest in the lives of the children still struggling.
