    About this project

    M. Leßle from HNO für Kamerun e.V. is responsible for this project
    The best way to give financial support is to give it to people who are already trying to help others and have shown that they are capable of using those funds for good and trustworthy reasons.
    Your financial support is needed to help Sister Carine care for 15 children who are either orphans or whose parents are incapable of raising them. They live in Ngaoundéré, Cameroon where there is no orphanage yet and because some of the children are HIV positive, local families will not adopt them.
    Sister Carine is from Cameroon and while being a Sister of her church, she is also one of the leaders of an organization called ASEED Children whose mission is to start an orphanage in Ngaoundéré. They have started fundraising but the investments in such a project are high and it is not likely they will start building soon. Sister Carine teaches English at a local school, but she is finding it difficult to keep up with the costs of supporting the 15 children. She needs your help in order to give a good life to these unique children who have no place else to go.
    Please read about the children below and for more information on how the unwanted children of Cameroon live.
    The oldest of the group is Afia. She is 21 years old and the mother of 10 month old Trevor. Therese Davila is 16 years old. Sister Carine paid for her to go to boarding school for 5 years before Sister Carine came to Ngaoundéré. Prudence is 14 years old and her parents live in another part of Cameroon with no finances to care for their daughter. David, who is 10, lost his mother and does not know his father. Two brothers, both named Tekela are 7 and 9 years old. Their parents have no money to raise them. Vilaine (7 years old) has a father, but he is too busy with his job guarding houses. Abigail is also 7 and an orphan. Marie Therese (4), Solontine (9), and Christa (14) are three siblings of a family with 8 children. Their mother is sick and their father is a drunk who abuses his family. Chris and Genevieve are both 4 years old. Genevieve also has a sick mother. When the children say their mother or father is sick, it sometimes means that they are seen by people as crazy and not able to work. Or they are suffering from AIDS. The youngest of all of the children is a one month old baby named Graciella who was recently found abandoned by the side of the river. Sister Carine does not want to turn away these children who desperately need her love and care. Yet Sister Carine’s teacher salary cannot pay for the needs of 15 children. Right now she is able to put them all in school, but the rent for the house and the children’s health care are making it difficult for her to give them the life they deserve. They are in need of screens on the windows because of therisks of malaria. Sister Carine is the best chance for these children to receive education, medical care, enough food, and love. Here is your chance to give what you can, knowing that it will be put to good use for these children!
