MAYA Initiatives - Fighting Poverty in remote regions
Maya Initiatives is a two years old project that created by Pochi Tamba of Cameroon and Alexa Gainsburry of Britain. We had met during a World Youth Conference in Scotland and thought we could contribute our bit to development by putting our efforts together. Initially, we were interested in the plight of orphans affected by extreme poverty. In remote regions of Africa, many poor orphans increasingly fall prey to social ills due to the poverty they live in. We put together MI to support these children in any way possible. Today, we have expanded our objectives to include any children affected by severe poverty. In that light, we work with orphanages to provide needs for their children and have succeeded to keep two very brilliant orphans from dropping out of school. Maya Initiatives is currently working on a library project for a government Secondary school in Bambalang, Cameroon. At MI we believe that everyone can be an actor in development, just by helping your neighbour or cleaning Your neighbourhood and we try to pass belief through to the youths we work with.
