SODEI works to inspire and engage children and young persons in Cameroon by increasing their chances to succeed through innovative and creative methods of learning, alternative skill courses and education support. We apply creative, innovative and participatory methods to ignite the inner talents in youth. When young people discover their “spark”, they tap into their own unique talents and interests.
Through our core programs areeas: – Learn, Speak & Play (LESPLAY) – Youth Mentoring and Leadership program – Literacy Program – Women and Girls Empowerment Program, we engage children in creative arts and play, provide access to a space for interaction, share ideas and make their voices heard. While our community library helps to develop a reading culture in youth, our youth resource center serves as hub for creative & innovative ideas. We run sensitization campaigns in schools on the SDGs with specific focus on SDG4, organise girls empowerment workshops and coach youths on entrepreneurship and career development. We have partnered with some schools within Fako to involve pupils and students in our programs. So far, our programs have impacted over 500 students within the Southwest region. We recently partnered with ICOTEL-UB to integrate STEM in our programming.
