"Although Cameroon appears to be well on its way to achieving the goal of universal primary education, the country still has a long way to go in terms of primary school completion rate, enrollment rate of girls versus boys, retention rate of students and regional disparities in access to education."

The Nanou foundation knows the territorial reality of Cameroon very well: the northern region is one of the areas where the schooling rate of children is the lowest in the country. This deschooling is due to the lack of school facilities to accommodate students, but also to the lack of school material (desks, notebooks, books, blackboards).
