The key to every successful project is “sustainability”.

The challenge faced globally is to ensure that girls do have the opportunity to go and stay in school. Currently, the girl child might go to school but may not stay in school. Statistics show that 62 million girls are not in school or started school but did not continue. While the numbers are not readily available for Cameroon, and enrollment in elementary and secondary education rates have increases, the challenges for the girl child persist and are stubbornly routine. Example include:

• Little or no economic means to go and stay in school;
• Parents who might question the real advantage of scraping together meager resources to keep their daughter in school;
• Pressures to work to help the family out; and
• No supportive environments and/or resources likely to hamper their success while in school
  • An illness
  • Lack of basic needs
  • Pressure to participate in the families activities such as farming in lieu of staying in school

Phase II of The KNAH multi-purpose center is to include classroom, equipment, and staff to realize its vocation training, workforce development, and train the trainer programs. Life changing opportunities exist in the fashion design, culinary arts, service management and catering, and information technologies sectors throughout Cameroon. NKAH sees the challenge to establish and train young girls as a challenge and an opportunity. Successes in these and other career sectors will be hard won battles that will ensure that the girl child is not and cannot become vulnerable to early
child marriage, trafficking, pregnancy, child labor, or child-related violence on account of her socio-economic standing in society.

NKAH believes in “Transforming Dreams into Reality through Education” and that begins with access to education, development of relevant market skills to enter, remain in the workforce and ultimately become successful and productive citizens.
