ORPHANAGE AIDS BY SHOMEA

Welcome to

SHOMEA's Digital Bridge and Mentoring for Orphans

DBMO

Globally, over 2 billion children exist, and among them, 150 to 200 million are orphans, left without guardians. Regions with high orphan concentrations include Asia, the middle East, Latin America, and Africa. Orphanhood is a significant issue in Cameroon, with many children losing one or both parents due to factors such as HIV/AIDS, conflict, and poverty.

According to UNICEF, there were an estimated 1.4 million orphaned children in Cameroon in 2020, accounting for approximately 10% of the country’s child population.

These orphaned children face numerous challenges, including limited access to education, healthcare, and social support services.

At SHOMEA, we are dedicated to empowering orphaned and vulnerable children through education, mentorship, and digital literacy. Our Digital Bridge and Mentoring for Orphans (DBMO) Project aims to bridge the educational gap and provide essential life skills to orphaned children, preparing them for a brighter future.

About the Project

The DBMO Project is designed to offer comprehensive support to orphaned children, addressing their educational, emotional, and social needs. Through this project, we provide

Digital Literacy

We equip orphaned children with essential digital skills, including computer literacy, internet proficiency, and basic coding. Access to technology opens doors to educational resources and opportunities for self-improvement.

Mentorship Program

Our dedicated mentors work closely with each child, offering guidance, support, and encouragement. Mentors serve as positive role models, helping children build confidence, set goals, and navigate life's challenges.

Life Skills Training

We offer workshops and training sessions on essential life skills such as baking, tailoring, hygiene, communication, financial literacy, and leadership. These skills empower children to make informed decisions and succeed in various aspects of life.

Networking Opportunity

We facilitate networking among orphans from different orphanages, creating a platform for the exchange of ideas and opportunities that can pave the way to a brighter future.
