Merry Christmas to CAPEC!

November 10, 2023

Education should not be a luxury; it is a must for individual’s and society’s development. Unfortunately not everyone has access to education or goes to school every day. To provide equal opportunities for all to education, busuu.com works with the NGO ‘Cameroon Association for the Protection and Education of the Child‘ (CAPEC).

CAPEC has built a school for orphans and children from poor families in the area of Nkolfoulou. Since it was built in February 2009, the school has grown a lot. Its objective is to offer a classroom for each of the six grades. The school is still missing the last classroom and is hoping to be able to include it in time for the children to reach the last grade. In September, the first generation finished the fourth class. You can support this project, too, simply make a donation online.

In December 2009, busuu.com won the European Language Label and donated the prize money to CAPEC. Since then, we have been supporting the project and this year we will again make a special Christmas donation to CAPEC to keep the school growing.

You can help, too! If you make a donation before the 31st of December 2011, you even help CAPEC in the Open Challenge of the GlobalGiving Foundation. This foundation offers a fundraising opportunity for nonprofit organizations working around the world. If CAPEC raises $4,000 from 50 donors in this challenge,  they will be given a permanent spot on the GlobalGiving’s website and this way have much more possibilities to raise permanent funds for their projects.

Take this opportunity and donate now! Your donation will help the school project and CAPEC raise their chances to get a permanent spot on the GlobalGiving website.

A huge thank you to everyone who has already donated.
