The car wash also provides an opportunity for school drop outs to engage in practical skills that will help them save some money which could be used as start-up capital for their own small businesses.

Fonkou recalled that when he was 13 years, he lost his father and so six of his younger siblings were placed under his responsibility.

“It was a serious challenge. I had to hustle in order to continue my education and also to enable my younger ones continue theirs. I created this business to help children who are facing the same situation as I did before” he said.

 The difficult situation Mr Fonkou found himself in made him to suspend his education for a year. But he later obtained masters in Structural Geology from the University of Yaoundé I.
