Millennium Fellowship Project: Empowerment of Internally Displaced Persons
DeWise Edufund and Empowerment Program is a relief project for Internally Displaced Persons in Yaoundé who fled the anglophone crisis from the English-speaking regions of Cameroon and are now residing in the French-speaking zone of Cameroon, where they are unable to go to school due to social marginalization. The primary objective of this project is to foster educational access and enhance the welfare of internally displaced persons in Yaoundé. This project is structured into four quarters of 2023, each consisting of two months. The specific objectives are to support 50 internally displaced children with tuition fees and academic material in the first quarter of 2023 to resume school, provide counselling sessions and orientations to enable the children to gain relief from war trauma and facilitate their social integration in their host communities during the second quarter, train and engage internally displaced household heads on income generation skills for subsequent livelihood support of their children’s education after the project and provide seed funding and coaching for parents to run startups to gain financial stability.
About the Millennium Fellow
I am Nkah Chambeline Dzengong, a student at the African Leadership University, currently pursuing a degree in Software Engineering with a keen interest in specializing in Machine Learning. Hailing from Cameroon, my fervor lies in the realm of data and its potential to address substantial challenges. An advocate for girl child education, I am deeply committed to enhancing its methodologies. Engaging with novel faces, embracing risks, and seizing opportunities invigorate me. I draw motivation from past setbacks, using them as stepping stones for growth. Guided by the belief that a single stumble is acceptable, but perpetual stumbling is not, I'm dedicated to promoting girl child education by equipping young girls with knowledge, skills, and networks to access quality education.
