Introduction
Little Angels Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales. Our mission is to transform the lives of children, young people, and families in Cameroon and the UK. We achieve this through the advancement of education, the relief of poverty, and the provision of counselling and support to individuals in need.
In 2024, we expanded our initiatives to further inspire creativity, foster literacy, and support underrepresented communities. Our key services included creative writing workshops at the Bootle International Festival, book donations to young people, a World Book Day symposium, reading and storytelling workshops for children from underrepresented communities, and financial literacy workshops for mothers, conducted with the help of our partners at Likambi Global Publishing Ltd. These activities demonstrated our ongoing commitment to empowerment and education.

The objectives of Little Angels Foundation remain central to our mission:
-
Providing temporary and permanent shelter for disadvantaged children and orphans.
-
Improving the health and well-being of children and the disadvantaged.
-
Offering financial support for the educational advancement of disadvantaged children.
-
Delivering counselling, coaching, and mentoring for distressed children, youth, and families.
-
Establishing vocational training centres and colleges to foster long-term independence.
Key Activities and Achievements in 2024
Creative Writing Workshops at the Bootle International Festival
Our creative writing workshops were a highlight of the Bootle International Festival in 2024. These sessions provided young participants with an opportunity to develop their writing skills and share their unique stories. Attendees expressed newfound confidence and enthusiasm, with many showcasing their creations at the festival’s youth talent showcase.
Books Donation Programme
We continued our impactful books donation programme, distributing hundreds of books to children in need. This initiative was supported by collaborations with schools and publishers, helping to bridge educational gaps in underserved communities. The donated books served as vital tools for learning and personal growth.
World Book Day Symposium
Our second annual World Book Day symposium in March 2024 was a resounding success. The event brought together educators, authors, and young readers for panel discussions, storytelling sessions, and interactive workshops. Participants left inspired and better equipped to foster a lifelong love for reading and literature.
Reading and Storytelling Workshops for Underrepresented Communities
We expanded our reading and storytelling workshops to engage children from underrepresented communities. These sessions, led by professional storytellers and volunteers, were designed to nurture a love for stories while providing a platform for creative expression. The workshops created a sense of inclusion and belonging for participants.
Financial Literacy Workshops for Mothers
A new initiative in 2024 was the introduction of financial literacy workshops for mothers in underrepresented communities. Conducted in collaboration with Likambi Global Publishing Ltd., these workshops equipped participants with essential skills to manage household finances, budget effectively, and pursue economic independence.
Challenges and Resilience
Despite our progress, challenges persisted in Cameroon due to political instability and economic difficulties. Displacement and disrupted schooling continued to impact our beneficiaries. However, the foundation’s adaptability and the dedication of our team allowed us to deliver virtual workshops and distribute critical resources.
Financial constraints remained a concern due to limited fundraising opportunities, but the generosity of our trustees, volunteers, and partners sustained our programmes. Their unwavering commitment ensured that we continued to meet the needs of our beneficiaries.
Looking Ahead
In 2025, Little Angels Foundation aims to:
-
Establish a vocational training centre to empower disadvantaged youth with practical skills.
-
Expand our creative writing and storytelling programmes to reach more young people.
-
Strengthen collaborations with partners to enhance resource distribution and programme delivery.
Acknowledgements
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our trustees, volunteers, partners, and supporters for their invaluable contributions. Your support enables us to transform lives and create lasting change for the children and families we serve. Together, we illuminate paths of hope and opportunity.
