The Foundation's network connecting African schools with one another and with technology, partners, institutions, resources, and opportunities globally. Membership is open to primary, secondary and technical schools across the continent.
Born in 1939 and schooled at the Basel Mission School in Kumbo, he taught as a pupil teacher before training in Nigeria and England, qualifying FCIS, and serving Cameroon for more than two decades as an accountant, Chief of Service and Technical Adviser with the rank of Director. He was a pillar in his family and in the lives of so many loved ones, and he believed in education and technology as the way forward.
He leaves behind his wife Monica Vuzu Minang Fomuso, seven children, 19 grandchildren, daughters and sons in law, and a slew of extended children, family and friends. The Foundation carries his name so that his belief in educational growth continues in the schools of the continent he served.
