When There Is a Will, There Is Certainly a Way! Connecting Girls to their Dreams



Mother of Hope Cameroon (MOHCAM) through her Girl's Scholarship Support Program connects underprivileged girls to their dreams with an educational comprehensive yearly support. A key component of the Girl's Scholarship Support Program is connecting young girls to their dreams by providing school fees,books,uniforms,pants washable sanitary pads etc.The girls also benefit from a mentor-ship and leadership training for one year.Girls are selected after considerable investigation to attest to the fact that they are in need and are living in difficult situations.The scholarship is given to girls as from the ages of eight years to twenty years old from primary,secondary,high schools and university studies.



As Mothers of Hope, the Girls Scholarship Support Program is an opportunity for us to give back to our community and encourage many girls to go back to school joyfully.The program is also intended to ensure access to educational opportunities and to reflect the specific needs of underprivileged girls surrounded by poverty. The Girl's Scholarship Support Program is committed to provide girls and their families with equal opportunities towards education. MOHCAM has been able to offer scholarships and other educational assistance to twenty girls for the pass five years with reliance funding from the donation of her members and friends.



We are determined to give hope to all through our support to keep more girls at school.


Melisa is seventeen years old and a form five student.She is a beneficiary of the 2016 Girl's Scholarship Support Program of MOHCAM.She is an orphan and wants to become a teacher. She is victim of domestic violence and she has gone through so much hardship to survive.She barely could feed and worst still to find a home of her own.She has been a nanny or house-help for many people. That still didn’t work for her because when it was time for them to pay her they would frame all sorts of stories just so that they wouldn’t have to pay her. Then they would send her out of their house. But this didn't stop Melisa from reaching her dreams.She is determined to make a difference by going back to school and connecting to her dreams.



\"Don't let any situation stop you from achieving your goals\"
Even poverty cannot separate me from my dreams.
