The French NGO "Cercle des Enfants pour la Défense de la Langue Française" (Children's Circle for the Defense of the French Language), presided over by Françoise Etoa, will provide valuable assistance to several disadvantaged health centers in rural areas of Cameroon. On April 25, 2026, these centers will receive medical supplies and consultation beds during a ceremony held at the Hilton Hotel in Yaoundé.
This humanitarian action marks the 25th anniversary of the Cercle des Enfants' commitment to improving the well-being of disadvantaged populations. The event is also intended as a tribute to healthcare personnel, highlighting their essential role in the development of a healthy society.
Several sponsors are supporting this initiative, demonstrating their corporate social responsibility. Razel Cameroon is the official sponsor, along with other companies and organizations such as the Hilton Hotel Yaoundé, Cabinet CONSEIL ATOU, BANGE BANK Cameroon, Mégableu (Vocabulon educational games), DANGOTE, Lions Club, DAK SECURITY, CIMENCAM, CRTV and INFO TV. Ambassadors of the Vocabulon educational games from Mégableu and junior firefighters from Cameroon, recognized for their first aid skills, will also be present.
The program for the April 25 ceremony includes:
12:30 PM: Arrival of guests 1:00 PM: Lunch, entertainment (national ballet and guest artists) 5:00 PM: End of the ceremony
Françoise Etoa emphasizes the importance of this initiative: "We are modestly striving to build a sustainable chain of solidarity between economic actors, health professionals and security forces. This is at the heart of our approach, with the aim of strengthening the Cameroonian health system while supporting vulnerable families. Solidarity is not a one-off act, but a collective responsibility that involves each of us. Through this initiative, we wanted to take concrete action: to support our health structures, to honor those who dedicate their lives to saving the lives of others, and to offer tangible support to children facing the loss of a parent. The day of April 25 will therefore be dedicated to the children of the firefighters of Cameroon and to orphans."
The Cercle des Enfants pour la Défense de la Langue Française works to promote the French language among children and to improve access to educational and humanitarian resources for vulnerable populations. The NGO also supports children facing difficult situations, such as orphans of law enforcement, and encourages the active participation of communities and partners to strengthen the impact of its actions. Françoise Etoa is also the Africa Ambassador for Vocabulon educational games.
Razel Cameroon, the event's official sponsor, is committed to corporate social responsibility. The company is involved in the development and preservation of local communities, as well as in supporting its employees. Razel-Bec, the parent company of Razel Cameroon, has implemented a corporate social responsibility policy and monitoring tools to ensure continuous progress.
