As Catalyst Exhibits’ charity focus, Area 3 has been helping fund the education of children in Cameroon alongside GMM Africa’s Teh Francis.

The motorbike taxis which we helped fund – alongside a notable donation from Bekins Van Lines – have proved to be far more popular and profitable than anyone could have predicted.

According to Teh Francis, there are now 34 children off the streets and in the school system, where computer education is really starting to take off.

He wrote: “I am uploading photos to send to you about the elementary school and how the schools here have re-opened after the summer. Everything has been fine. We have about 34 children now and we’ve paid their tuition and bought most of their school items with the money raised from the Motor-bike taxi business. Thanks too……

The motorbike taxis that began life as a way to raise more money to get children off the streets of Cameroon and into education are proving even more successful than originally forecast.

Catalyst Exhibits bought the first motorbike to ferry teachers between schools across the rough terrain and since then another has been added to act purely as a taxi for locals.

We are delighted to hear from Teh Francis at charity group, GMMAFRICA, that the taxi is a roaring success and has helped fund new computers for the schools.

Thanks to the generous donation this summer by our friends at Bekins Van Lines, the taxis are really making a difference for these kids.

Last month, transport  and storage specialist Bekins, stepped up to the plate to help sponsor the education of impoverished children in Cameroon, on the west coast of Africa.

The donation went to GGMAfrica which is doing amazing work to help get kids off the streets and give them a start in life with proper education.

We just heard back from GMMAfrica about how that money helps and also how the motorbikes that Catalyst Exhibits have bought are helping raise vital funds.

“We were delighted to see what Bekin Van Lines did for GMM highlighted on the Area 3 site. They donated $3,500 dollars for the Child Educational Program. When we prepare profiles for some children it takes a long time before they ever come to get a sponsor and sometimes they never get one at all.
