Youth Voice | Akikeze Anangmbi: A Million Pens for Peace Campaign Restores Education in Conflict Zones

Akikeze Anangmbi from Cameroon leads the “A Million Pens for Peace Campaign.” At the 2025 Acceleration Week for Global Youth Development, she shared that the program aims to provide quality basic education to vulnerable children in conflict-affected areas of Cameroon’s Anglophone regions. The initiative includes mobilizing students to return to school, equipping schools with essential teaching materials, and offering incentives to both staff and students. Over the past four years, it has helped multiple schools resume operations, promoted back-to-school efforts, provided learning materials and tuition support, and nurtured the future aspirations of countless children.(Editor: Wang Junyang, Zhang Minyu)
