Out of School Children (OOSC) Mobilization
Of the 61 million primary school age children currently out of school around the world, 1.7 million are from Cameroon. Reasons why children go...
uneducated are diverse – parents’ inability to afford school fees, long distances to school, early marriage that keep girls from the classroom, inadequate infrastructure and materials to support learners’ needs, and a lack of qualified teachers, amongst many others. Best Brains Educational Empowerment Association (BBEEA) is therefore working with key stakeholders across the process chain to actively mobilize and support out-of- school children, especially the internally displaced who are young victims of the Boko Haram insurgency in Far North and North west and South west crises in Cameroon.
Recognizing OOSC needs are diverse, Best Brains Educational Empowerment Association (BBEEA) supports enrolled OOSC in many ways to ensure retention and improved learning by mobilizing community support, provision of supplementary school materials – school uniforms, text books, stationaries, etc. We also train teachers to document OOSC profiles and track daily school attendance, retention, and transition rates. To support the immediate learning needs of newly enrolled (OOSC), the Association has set up learning spaces provide short, intensified, participatory activities aimed at stimulating, and gradually introducing basic literacy and numeracy, using play and drama as a medium to facilitate learning.

Clean Our World (COW)
Best Brains Educational Empowerment Association (BBEEA) initiated the ‘Clean Our World’ (COW) project to promote environmental education and sustainable action for pupils in target...
schools and host communities in the south west region. COW aims to promote environmental education and responsibility by creating awareness and empowering children and teachers in 7 public primary schools and their host communities with the knowledge of plastic recycling and waste management, whilst encouraging the adoption of eco-conscious lifestyles. Benefitting schools and communities.
It is estimated that Cameroon generates over 3 million tons of solid waste annually of which 600,000 tons is plastic. There is increased flooding across cities during the rainy season due to clogged drainage systems, directly attributable to poor waste disposal techniques. Education is an essential element of the global response to environmental sustainability. It helps young people understand and address environmental issues, encourages changes in their attitudes and behaviour, and helps them adapt to climate change-related trends. When environmental education is integrated into the curriculum, pupils are more enthusiastic and engaged in learning, which improves learner achievement in core academic areas. Creating awareness on recycling, environmental responsibility and sustainability will help explain, inform, motivate, persuade, and encourage beneficiaries in target schools and communities to embrace behavioral changes necessary for long-term impact.
