SOCADEL Invests in the future through education in Ngoyang
On 6 October 2026, at the government primary school in Ngoyang, 450 pupils from Bakola/Bagyeli communities around Lolodorf received school supplies. The initiative was spearheaded by SOCADEL and FEDEC, which put children front and centre of the commitment to education.
Overall, 450 pupils from Bakola/Bagyeli communities around Lolodorf benefited from this donation. The materials include notably textbooks and workbooks for French, English and mathematics, for various classes, from primary 1 to 6.
In the shadow of these school supplies, there is a more tangible reality: the reality of families for whom simultaneously buying all these indispensable supplies could represent a huge burden. There is also the reality of teachers who need suitable materials to help pupils as they learn. With this contribution, SOCADEL is helping reduce some of the burden. The goal is to enable the learners have the necessary resources to learn, practice, grow and face their studies more confidently. “Beyond the supplies we are handing over today, our desire is to give these children more resources to learn, grow and build their future. We are encouraging them to take care of these supplies, to be focused and to believe in their capacities,” explained Aurelien Toukap, SOCADEL’s Regional Director for the Sanaga Maritime and Ocean.
As for the pupils and their families, these school supplies represent tangible assistance for every day. They help better prepare the children to follow their lessons, complete their exercises and face the school year more serenely. “These supplies will help us better assist our child with school. We would like to thank the partners for this initiative, which brings tangible support to our families,” a parent declared. I am happy I got a bag and exercise books. I will work hard. This will be a way of saying thank you to SOCADEL.”
This initiative is a continuation of the collaboration that was formalised between Eneo Cameroon and FEDEC in October 2023. This collaboration has notably made it possible to design actions for the Bakola/Bagyeli communities in the areas of education, health and income-generating activities. With the transition from Eneo Cameroon to SOCADEL, this partnership continues. The handover of didactic material in Ngoyang concretely illustrates this, within the framework of the FEDEC-managed Plan for Vulnerable Indigenous Peoples (PPAV).
