Introduction
Little Angels Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales, dedicated to transforming the lives of children, young people, and families in Cameroon and the UK. Our mission encompasses the advancement of education, relief of poverty, and provision of counselling and support to individuals in need.
In 2022, despite ongoing challenges, we made significant strides in our efforts to empower young minds through creative initiatives, with a focus on storytelling, reading, and a pivotal event—the Creative Genius Conference held in August. These activities have brought fresh momentum to our vision of creating a nurturing environment for children and families in need.

-
Improving the health and well-being of children and the disadvantaged.

Key Activities and Achievements in 2022
Creative Writing Workshops for Young People
In 2022, we launched a series of creative writing workshops aimed at inspiring and nurturing young talents. These workshops provided participants with the opportunity to express themselves through storytelling and writing, cultivating both their creativity and confidence. Held in various community centres, the workshops attracted children from diverse backgrounds and served as a platform for budding writers to showcase their ideas.
Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many young participants expressing their newfound passion for writing and storytelling. We believe this initiative has planted seeds of hope and ambition in their lives.
Storytelling and Reading Sessions
Recognising the power of stories to educate, heal, and inspire, we organised regular storytelling and reading sessions. These events, hosted by volunteers and professional storytellers, were designed to foster a love for literature among children and young people. The sessions were particularly
impactful for children facing distress, offering them solace and a sense of belonging through shared narratives.
The sessions also included the donation of books to schools and individuals in need. With the help of key partners in Cameroon, we distributed books to disadvantaged schoolchildren, enabling them to continue their education despite ongoing hardships.
Creative Genius Conference - August 2022
A highlight of our year was the Creative Genius Conference held in August 2022. This transformative event brought together young minds, educators, and creatives to explore the boundless potential of creativity. The conference featured workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, leaving attendees inspired and equipped with tools to pursue their dreams.
The Creative Genius Conference showcased the resilience and ingenuity of our community, reaffirming our belief in the power of creativity to shape futures. It was a resounding success, with many participants expressing their eagerness for similar events in the future.
Challenges and Resilience
The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to present challenges, particularly in our work in Cameroon. Displacement and school closures in the English-speaking regions of the country disrupted our direct engagements. Nonetheless, our trustees, led by the unwavering commitment of Dr Sylvia Forchap, worked tirelessly to provide support through mentoring, counselling, and resource distribution.
Despite limited fundraising activities, the foundation remained steadfast in its mission, relying on the selfless contributions of our trustees and volunteers. Their dedication ensured that our beneficiaries continued to receive essential support and encouragement.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, Little Angels Foundation is determined to expand its initiatives and deepen its impact. Plans for 2023 include:
-
Establishing a vocational training centre to empower disadvantaged youth with practical skills.
-
Scaling up our creative writing and storytelling programmes to reach more young people.
-
Strengthening partnerships to facilitate the donation of educational resources in Cameroon.
Acknowledgements
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our trustees, volunteers, and partners for their unwavering support and dedication. Your contributions make our work possible and impactful. Together, we continue to light the path for the children and families we serve.
