Communities Standing Together to Keep Children Learning
Knowledge for Children (KforC) is ensuring that education continues, even in times of crisis.
Education should never stop because of conflict. Through the Resilience in Education II (RiE2) Project, KforC continues to work hand in hand with communities across the Northwest Region of Cameroon to ensure that children can keep learning despite the challenges they face.
In June 2026, more than 40 community focal persons from the Jakiri Zone gathered for a project progress evaluation meeting. The meeting aimed to evaluate the implementation of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) interventions and strengthen the capacity of community focal persons to better support children, families, and schools affected by the ongoing crisis.
Their remarkable turnout was more than just attendance—it reflected the commitment of communities to protecting children’s education and well-being. It also demonstrated the shared belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive, regardless of the circumstances.
During the meeting, our Country Director expressed sincere appreciation to the focal persons and community leaders for their dedication, resilience, and selfless service. Their continuous efforts are helping children remain connected to education while providing essential psychosocial support to learners and their families.
At Knowledge for Children (KforC), we believe that education and mental well-being go hand in hand. By strengthening community-based support systems and ensuring continuity of learning, we are investing in a future where children are empowered to overcome adversity and contribute to peaceful, resilient communities.
We are grateful to every community leader, volunteer, teacher, and partner who continues to walk this journey with us. Together, we are ensuring that education remains a source of hope, healing, and opportunity for every child.
Together, we are keeping the light of education alive.
