Saving the Future of Cameroon

Abstract

Cameroon is a beautiful Central African country with lots of Natural resources. Unfortunately due to corruption in the government and lasting effects from colonialism most Cameroonians are living in poverty. The Cameroonians get caught in the same poverty traps over and over again and if no changes are being made at the micro level then these traps will keep occurring over and over again. It is very important that the children in Cameroon receive proper nutrition, healthcare, and stay in school so they can focus on their education to better their lives in the future and not have to get stuck working in harsh conditions their whole life. I believe that the Cameroonian leaders need to look towards FBOs (Faith Based Organizations), to help improve their citizens lives and promote sustainability in the country. FBOs that are transparent in what they do and have a strong passion for helping those in poverty can end these poverty traps and give kids in Cameroon all their basic needs which is food, clean water, education, and food everyday. If the children’s basic needs are meant then the families will no longer have to force their children into harsh labor because they will know at least their child is being taken care of in school now.
