Loum Library Project

The team at CELA is currently raising donations for a library project to help combat illiteracy in Loum.

Giving children access to books

Help us complete the Loum Library Project!

 

After years of commitment, hard work and generous support, the Loum Library building is now ready. We are in the final stage of this important project, with the official delivery scheduled for 17 December 2026.

 

We now need to raise the final £14,500 to complete the project and make the library fully operational.

 

Access to knowledge and educational resources remains an important challenge in Cameroon. UNESCO has highlighted the country's continuing learning challenges, including an estimated 72% learning-poverty rate among children. Improving access to books, educational resources, digital information and opportunities for learning therefore remains extremely important.

 

The Loum Library will contribute at community level by providing children, students and the wider population with access to books, educational materials, computers, internet connectivity and a dedicated environment for learning and research.

 

Your support will help us complete the remaining requirements:

  1. Books & Educational Materials – Books, textbooks and learning resources.

  2. Impero Software – Software to manage and protect the library's computers.

  3. Internet Connection – Reliable, high-speed internet for learning and research.

  4. Network Deployment – Installation and configuration of the library's network infrastructure.

  5. IT Equipment – Deployment of computers, servers, printers and accessories.

  6. Commemorative Plaques – Recognition of the donors and supporters who have helped make this project possible.

  7. Inauguration Ceremony – Organisation of the official handover and inauguration of the library.

​

The building is ready. Now let's bring the library to life.

Every donation makes a difference. If you cannot donate, please help us by sharing our appeal.

Invest in education. Invest in people. Invest in Loum's future.
