Introduction to WEBDEV Foundation

WEBDEV Foundation is a humanitarian, apolitical, non-governmental and non-profit association whose main activities are based on the social education in ICT (information technology and communication), cooperation and reciprocal solidarity. WEBDEV Foundation is composed by young people who share the passion to build an efficient society and sustainable environment.

WEBDEV Foundation undertakes alongside the Cameroonian government and other national and international organizations to contribute in the areas of education, health, environment and culture. Projects and programs aim to fight against underdevelopment.

We are also interest about child care, human rights, women’s empowerment as well as providing assistance to discriminated and disadvantaged community groups such as people with disabilities, street children and orphans. Our projects welcome international volunteers from all over the world.


 

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.
