Our vision
The vision of CEWA is purposeful, holistic and consists of the curriculum and the cocurricular. We therefore have as vision to develop and build a solidly bright future for children by ensuring a conformed child education and welfare environment, especially in the domain of academics and health, thereby engaging under the following banners;
1) Purposeful and Holistic Approach: The organization aims to provide education and support to children in a comprehensive and thoughtful manner. This suggests that the focus is not only on academic learning but also on the overall development of the child, including their emotional, social, and physical well-being.
2) Curriculum and Co-curricular Activities: The vision recognizes the significance of both the formal curriculum (academic subjects and lessons) and co-curricular activities (extracurricular, sports, arts, etc.) in shaping a child's education and growth. This suggests an intention to provide a well-rounded learning experience.
3) Building a Bright Future: The ultimate goal of CEWA is to contribute to the development of a positive and successful future for children. This could include preparing them for personal, academic, and professional success as they grow into adulthood.
4) Conformed Child Education and Welfare Environment: The vision suggests a commitment to establishing an environment that conforms to standards of quality and excellence in child education and welfare. This likely involves creating a safe, supportive, and conducive learning environment for children's growth.
5) Academics and Health: The vision acknowledges the importance of both academic education and the health and well-being of children. This dual focus suggests an intention to address not only intellectual growth but also physical and mental health aspects.
6)Engagement: The vision likely emphasizes active engagement of children in their learning and development process. This could involve interactive teaching methods, personalized attention, and encouraging participation in various activities.

Our Works
Children are the future leaders and teachers. For an emerging community like Africa, development of underprivileged children holds the key to the progress of the nation itself, and their education is the cornerstone of this progress. But education for children cannot be achieved without ensuring the welfare of the family – a child can go to school regularly only when the family, particularly the mother is healthy and empowered; the family has decent livelihoodopportunities and a steady income.
Realizing this, CEWA, beginning in the corridors of education, has adopted a lifecycle approach with programmes focused on family health, livelihood and community engagement throughwomen empowerment, which addresses the needs of less privileged children, their families andthe larger community
Mission Education provides basic education and healthcare to underprivileged children, with the belief that education is both the means as well as the end to a better life because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood while also increasing one's awareness on a range of issues; in the process helping him/her evolve as a better citizen with a brighter future.
Cameroon still struggling with Improvement in the health sector since independence.
However,various eye opening data from MINSANTE clearly indicate that access to basic healthcare stillremains a challenge, especially to the unreachable and needy young population of the rural areas.While the health statistics of rural Cameroon continue to be poor, the health status and access tohealth for the poor in urban slum dwellers has surfaced to be equally deplorable and have lessthan 4% of government primary healthcare facilities.Urban slum dwellers suffer from adverse health conditions owing to mainly two reasons –firstthe lack of education and thus lack of awareness; and second the unwillingness to lose a day’swage in order to reach the nearest medical facility. Healthcare for underprivileged, which is adesperate need, thus remains unaddressed.The need of the hour is thus a two pronged approach – first to bring quality healthcare servicesto doorsteps of the needy and second to promote healthcare awareness and contemporary healthcare seeking behavior among the underprivileged.

The youth comprises over one-third of the Cameroon population which in turn constitutes amajor part of the labour force of the country. The number of underprivileged youth inCameroon who lacks education and proper guidance is so huge that according to the countrysreports “Only about 15% of the young graduates passing out of colleges are employable; the restare branded ‘unemployable’.”
It is not their lack of theoretical knowledge that causes this. Instead, it is the lack of right skillsand attitude. There is thus, an increasing concern among the leading employers of the country,about the shortage of ready-to-deliver employees. In addition, the macro perspective affirms that,it is crucial for the energy of the underprivileged youth to be channelized properly with properdirection to aid economic growth and nation building to elude their addition to family woes,social stress and national misery.
CEWA therefore in partnership with other organization and stakeholders organizes workshopsand trainings to hand tool children youths and women by means of capacity building andsustainable skill development.
CEWA also organizes programmes to trains the urban underprivileged youth in EnglishProficiency, Basic Computer Education and Soft Skills for enhancing their prospects ofemployment in the fast expanding retail, hospitality..

Various studies, as well as our experience, have shown that when we work towards womenempowerment, the whole society benefits. But unfortunately in African in general, far frombeing empowered, most women are denied even their basic rights like health, education,employment and a respectable status in society.
