CHILDREN & EDUCATION Today, there are estimated over 143 million orphans in the world. That is enough children to go three times around the world at the equator. The study indicates that the child poverty rate in Cameroon was 46.02% in 2007. Furthermore there exist disparities in the incidence of poverty within the country; households with children in rural areas are six times as likely to be at risk of poverty as compared with households with children in urban areas. In terms of deprivation, 64% of all children in Cameroon experience at least one form of severe deprivation, the most frequent of which is access to housing. Additionally, 30% of children lack access to food; 30% of children are deprived of access to information; and 20% of education. The situation of deprivation is significantly worse in rural areas. Therefore, one of the recommendations from the study is to focus on poverty reduction in the northern regions and rural areas, in order to address the significant geographic disparities in the country. Many NGO’s are doing their best to help those children in needs whether by running activities, or running orphanages which are taking care of them. There are also various programs that are run such as sponsoring a child, training them, giving soft skills formation. |
