Operation Bamiléké Backpack

Education is the foundation on which children build a future. Every August, before school starts, B2 puts supplies in the hands of pupils who need them.

School supplies ready for pupils, Mbouda 2003

What's in a backpack

Each pack, assembled by LAFABA members for around $50, carries a school year's worth of essentials:

🎒 Backpack & binders

📚 Textbooks & books

✏️ Pens, pencils & notepads

🧮 Calculators

How you can help: donate supplies, host a donation box, or give toward a full backpack. $50 equips one child for the year.
