Welcome …
EduExcel strongly believes that education can empower a generation, and that the fate of a “third-world” country can be totally changed if we invest in creating opportunity through education and training.
In 2012, I had the privilege of meeting Josy, a determined student at the University of Douala. Facing financial hardships and lacking support, Josy demonstrated exceptional ambition and work ethic by offering to work as a househelp in my apartment to sustain herself financially and cover her tuition fees. Despite the demanding nature of her responsibilities, Josy meticulously fulfilled her duties with punctuality and dedication. I vividly recall an instance where Josy encountered a significant challenge. Due to her commitment to work, she missed an exam that had been rescheduled by her teacher on short notice, resulting in a setback caused by limited resources and communication barriers. Despite this setback, Josy persevered with unwavering determination. Despite facing numerous obstacles along her academic journey, Josy's resilience and tenacity ultimately led to her graduation, albeit two (02) years later than anticipated
THE PROBLEM
Students from low-income families face overwhelming challenges in attending college and being successful professionally.
– They do not know how to afford their education or how to prepare for their professional life because they lack examples. The sad reality is that many drop out because of a lack of finances or graduate but struggle in the professional environment
OUR SOLUTION
Each student selected receives financial support and is matched with a professional mentor who provides support, guidance, and information.
– Mentors regularly contact students and guide them on topics such as time management, academic issues, handling finances, job research, resume review, and challenges they encounter.
