Claudette Fumeh

Claudette Fumeh is our Deputy Country Director of Open Dreams Cameroon. Raised by a single mother who could barely sponsor her and her 5 other siblings in school, she risked dropping out of school after graduating from high school due to financial challenges. She experienced firsthand the difficulties in accessing higher education when there is no obvious source of sustainable support. 

She believes that education is as important to every child as food, water and shelter and that having access to educational opportunities and resources should be for every child whether from a high-income background or low-income background.

As the Deputy Country Director of Open Dreams, she offers college counseling and advising to Open Dreams Pre-Scholars and Scholars, oversees the welfare of students and the Open Dreams Centers in Cameroon. She also attends conferences on behalf of open dreams and collaborates with partner organizations.

She holds a BSc in Food Science from the University of Bamenda.
