♾️ PRESENTATION OF THE INSTITUTION .

Agir avec HAMA FONDATION et planter une graine de beauté dans la réalité des enfants et adolescents du <<Ekombitié Social Centre for Education and Leisure – Commune of Mbalmayo>>

“Ekombitié” is a place that catches the attention and as its name indicates in the mother tongue, which means “station”, it implies a short pause. During the 2005 census, 907 people were counted in this locality, which is a village in the Central Region of Cameroon, located in the commune of Mbalmayo in the Nyong-et-So’o department.

The Centre is in its 5th year of operation. It was donated and built through the commune of Mbalmayo in the South Korea-Cameroon partnership.

The centre has an enrolment of 40 children each year, both internal and external. It receives children from families not only from neighbouring localities but also from the Mbalmayo delegation of social affairs. These children are fragile and so vulnerable because the majority of them have parents with mental disorders, are orphans and are themselves suffering from disabilities.

We have identified problems expressed by the institution:

The Ekombitié centre for underprivileged children has noted various problems it has been facing for two years:

🚨 Lack of medical supplies and lack of specialised psychological follow-up.
🚨 Defective pump (water source).
🚨 The boarders lack civil status, preventing them from having access to education at higher levels.
🚨 Lack of educational manuscripts and specialist books in their library.
🚨 Lack of qualified and professional staff to accompany the residents.
🚨 Lack of resources to meet the daily needs of the residents.
🚨 The Centre social de soutien à l’éducation et aux loisirs D’Ekombitié, which is awaiting legalisation by the Ministry of Social Affairs, does not receive any subsidies from the state or from international organisations. It has a life of 30 years through associative action governed in 2002 by a departmental decree .

HAMA FONDATION proposes to support and accompany this centre in order to improve the living conditions of its residents ♥.

Thank you for your support. Let’s provide values to our communities in order to develop and improve the quality of life of the poorest.

Any amount is helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you
