1. Project Summary.
Within
the framework of protecting the rights of helpers (baby sitters, house boys,
helpers in offices, shops, factories etc) whose rights are often violated by
their masters/mistresses. Often these groups of people are teenagers and from
very poor parents who could not afford to send them to school or not having
parents at all, here referred to as street children.
As
the tradition is, the masters/ mistresses in towns and cities will make promises
to their parents or guardians to pay these children or settle them at the end
of an agreed period. As human nature is,
the children are often accused of theft or sexually abused and driven from the
home helplessly without any money to start up some thing. Too pathetic are we
not all human beings? On the other hand the helpers themselves are a
disappointment. Some tend to corrupt the children under their care or run away
with valuables.
C
A S I O is a Christian body, an outreach of the Josephpastria and the Hokma
church (Hokma Empire) with designated training programs to join the Cameroon
government and many other organizations to address the problems of the less
privilege in our societies. Offer careers and job opportunities, change their
lives, integrate and engage them in profit making activities, to fight against
societal ills whereby these groups are the most vulnerable, and also to
guarantee the employers of these helpers’ good and satisfactory services.
2. PROJECT DRAFT
1.0CONTEXT.
CARE AND SHARE INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS.
With the ACCRONYM (C. A. S. I. O.), registration number; SW/GP/29/06/5594 is a
common initiative group that was born from a
Christian activity of the Hokma church, where God revealed to them the
plight of his children in the streets and those whom have been held captives in
many homes, shops, factories and offices etc. 95% of these children have never known Love, have never had
the gospel preached to them, have never been given the opportunity to show case
the skills and talent God has given to them. On Sundays many of them work in the factories, sell in the shops or
take care of the domestic jobs while their employers have gone to church or
involved with their families in any relaxation activities. These activities and
many others have frustrated government effort and some organizations in trying
to fight criminality, child labour,
homosexuality,
unwanted pregnancy in teenagers, children and adult illiteracy because the
illiterate youths will definitely graduate to adults illiterates.
Against
this backdrop, CARE AND SHARE INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS invite you, your
organization, for funding to accomplish its project to help train five thousand
(5000) underprivileged men and women in different areas of specializations,
fight against child labour by given them careers and create jobs by the year
2015.
1.0.1
Government and other organizations effort on education, and the
fight
against
child labour.
The government of Cameroon in partnership with
both National and International organizations has not relent its effort to see
to it that illiteracy in both the youths and adults and the fight against child
labour remains a priority in every states decision. Many programs have been
launch in the area of education. One of them is the free primary education in
all government primary schools and subsidies to confessional and lay private
schools. Many youths animation centers have been created, and the youths have
been called to embraced professionalism so as to combat unemployment.
In
the area of child labour sensitization has been done nation wide with the
slogan (Carton rouge au travail des enfants). Some International organizations
like Plan International Cameroon and many others have initiated and sponsored
training programs in order to empower the underprivileged economically.
However,
much is still to be done, Care and Share International Organizations in its
strategy to sought and train five thousand underprivileged men and women
including children will go a long way to support the government and other stake
holders in this fight.
1.2.1 General background information on the
geographical area and location of
Cameroon.
Republic in
west-central Africa,
bordered by Nigeria
to the northwest, Chad
to the northeast, the Central African Republic to the east, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and
Equatorial Guinea to the south, and the Gulf of Guinea (part of the Atlantic Ocean)
to the west. Yaounde is its capital, and Douala is its largest
city.
Cameroon, shaped like an elongated
triangle, contains a surface area of 475,440 square kilometers (183,568 square
miles). Comparatively, the area occupied by Cameroon
is slightly larger than the state of California.
There are four
geographical regions: the western lowlands, which extend along the Gulf of Guinea
coast; the northwestern highlands, which consist of forested volcanic mountains
including Mount
Cameroon, the nation's only active volcano and the highest peak in West
Africa; the central region, which extends eastward to the border with the
Central African Republic; and the northern region, which is essentially a vast
tropical grass land plain that slopes down to the Chad Basin.
The southern and
northern regions of the country are two distinct climatic areas. In the North
there are two dry seasons, December to February, and July to September. The southern
part of the country has a more comfortable climate. That is the tropical
climate.
History and Food
Many staples of
the Cameroonian diet came from the explorers of the New World (the Americas).
The Portuguese arrived in Cameroon in 1472 and brought with them such foods as
hot peppers, maize
(corn), cassava
(a root vegetable), and tomatoes.
Other Europeans
settled on the Cameroon
coast in the mid 1800s, with the British arriving first, followed by the French
and Germans. The French influence is reflected in the presence of some foods,
such as omelets and French bread, as well as in the preparation of some dishes;
however, for the most part, Cameroonians continue to prepare their own
traditional foods.
Foreign
restaurants can be found in the larger towns and cities of Cameroon. In
2001, the city of Doula
boasted a number of Parisian-style cafes, Greek, Lebanese,
and Chinese restaurants, as well as places offering pizza and hamburgers.
Restaurants in the capital city, Yaounde,
also offered a variety of cuisines, including Chinese, French, Italian,
Russian, and traditional Cameroonian food. In the smaller cities, street
vendors and restaurants serve more traditional favorites than foreign dishes.
1.2.1
DEMOGRAPHY AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
Population (2008):
18,468,000. Spread out in ten (10) regions formally referred to as provinces.
Namely: Far North, North, Adamawa, Centre, East, Littoral, Southwest,
Northwest, West and South
Agriculture is the
country’s economic mainstay and contributes about 45% of the country’s gross
domestic product and employs about 70% of the people. Most of the leading
agricultural activities are; cocoa, coffee, rubber, bananas, palm products, tobacco,
fishing and
cattle rearing.
The principal subsistence crops are bananas, cassava, yams, plantains, peanuts,
millet, and sorghum. In spite of this
diverse agricultural production, only a small percentage of the country’s land
is cultivated, Cameroon still suffer from food insufficiency due to periodic
droughts and lack of investment capital in education and agricultural inputs
Nevertheless, Cameroon has one of the best-endowed primary
commodity economies in sub-Saharan Africa.
Still, it faces many of the serious problems facing other underdeveloped
countries, such as a top-heavy civil service, high level of illiteracy in the
rural areas, lack of professionalism and a generally unfavorable climate for
business enterprise. International oil and cocoa prices have a significant
impact on the economy. Since 1990, the government has embarked on various IMF
and World Bank programs designed to spur business investment, increase
efficiency in agriculture, improve trade, and recapitalize the nation's banks.
The Britton Woods Institutions are pressing for more reforms, including
increased budget transparency, privatization, and poverty reduction programs.
The tables below explain the economic standing of Cameroon as of 2008.
Care
and Share International Organizations seek to locate those whose parents could
not afford to give them basic primary education, learn a trade, the orphans,
street children, those
Who
are overexploited in homes like house helps and some working in factories and
shops. Those whose families have been devastated by HIV/AIDS. The
underprivileged men and women in the society.
From
the illustration above, 0 – 14 years constitute 40.9% of the Cameroon
population of 18,468,000 given a total of 7,714,652 and 2/3 of this figure is
labeled underprivileged. The second age group of 15-65years constitutes 55.9%.
In the primary sense, majority in this group are youths and 2/3 also
underprivileged. Summing this arithmetic therefore, without any exaggeration we
have approximately 10,000,000 Cameroonians youths in the streets without basic
education or skill.
2.0.2Origin of the Project.
Care
and Share International Organizations originated from the Hokma church and
Josephpastria which is the root organization. It was founded in 2004 and officially
registered in 2006 with the registration number: SW/GP/29/06/5594. As a common
initiative group. It is run and managed by a board of Christian women of the
Hokma church and supervised by the president and project director of
Josephpastria. Its motive was to help its members go through designed
industrial and professional programs, assist the less privileged, fight against
child’s labour among others and to combat unemployment among the Christian folk.
Recently
the group thought it wise to extend its goodwill to the entire nation so that
many families will be blessed through its numerous designed professional
programs. Care and Share International Organizations through collaboration,
donations, contributions and sponsored projects aimed to train 5000 underprivileged
youths in diverse skills and create jobs by the year 2015.
2.0.3Project location/ Description.
The
Headquarters of Josephpastria is in Buea, Sandpit bullu road, 100m behind the Catholic
Church, Fako Division in the South West region. P.O. Box 89. Cameroon Tel: (237) 33 02 68 87. Mobile: 75 76 00 49/ 74
43 29 74.
Our
goals are to reduce human suffering by promoting professionalism and
participating in creating jobs. To create 5000 jobs by the year 2015 through
direct and indirect employment after training. Our goal is to see that many
families are blessed through our grace. Equally we aimed at mobilizing people
and nations to be interested and participate in the program to make it more
sustainable with a multiplier effect.

3.0.4 OPPCRTUNITIES.
·As a vocational
school there is a great demand for our programmes in the job market, so those
who will leave from here will definitely be employed or set up something for
themselves and serve the needs of the community.
·At the end of the
strategic plan the 5000 trainees will create a positive impact in to the
economy and society instead of the other way round.
3.05WEAKNESS.
·As a new
initiative like any other, C.A.S.I.O is facing the problem of getting the
public to see its vision.
Lack of infrastructure
and financial resources to run the projects.
Heavy dependence on
the organization on contribution only.
4.0. STRATEGY.
To
achieve this dynamic Goal, Care and Share International organizations has put
in place two possible strategies to enable the project become realistic.
Strategy 1:Through
donations, contributions and benevolent sponsors. With this resources the
organization will hold seminars, make announcements and also sent resource
persons to the villages hold meetings with the villagers and have eligible
persons registered and directed to the
centre, make available accommodation and they will start the training. The
number here will solely depend on the resources available at the time.
Strategy 2: Through
seminars, work shops and the use of the media, the general public will be
sensitized so that those who already have these helpers working under them can
enroll them at the centre and they will food the training cost while still
under their care.
4.0.1ACTIVITIES.
The
day to day activity will include sourcing for the less privilege nation wide,
gathering funds for their tuition, accommodation, feeding, study materials and
their social well-being. Liaises with the government, private institutions,
organizations and enterprises that will absorb them upon completion of training
so that they don’t continue to be a Borden or go to the streets jobless and or
assist them to start some thing on their own.
4.0.2MONITORING AND EVALUATION.
To
have a good rapport with our partners and sponsors the activities of Care and
Share will have a continues evaluation and the website updated every day, keep
track and monitor every operation so that the objectives and goal will not be
frustrated at any time. Write weekly and
Monthly
reports about the trainees’ vis-à-vis their training programs. Evaluate and
monitor the resources to take care of areas of wastage, mid year and end of
year auditing reports.
