The socio-economic situation in Cameroon, as in all the developing countries, does not allow to have a real policy of care of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). Indeed the civil society, following the example of institutions such as Fondation Kana suggest helping these last ones through the system of sponsoring set up since near decade, allowing the nutritional, sanitary and school care of certain orphans and vulnerable children.

The family is the base on which the child has to lean for a better development of life in society. Regrettably the situation is different in the poor families where the children are rejected.

Having noticed this phenomenon growing in our society, Fondation Kana took the resolution to bring its modest stone for the protection of children with or without family relation.

In reception facilities, certain children need an additional help because what bring the government and the other institutions is not sufficient. Fondation Kana comes to help certain persons by paying their school expenses, their medical prescriptions and by relieving their everyday life.

With your contribution, you can change the situation of a child by motivating, by encouraging and by showing them other perspectives.

The beneficiary children of this help are:

• Orphans with or without institutional relation,
• Handicapped persons with or without institutional relation,
• Other vulnerable children.

The education is considered in Cameroon and everywhere else as the passport for a better future. In 2010, 72 million children in the world had no access to the education. The girls, the orphans and the vulnerable child (OVC), in situation of handicap, stemming from minorities or from the poorest circles are mainly concerned. In its educational and school support program, Fondation Kana rewards all school year round outstanding pupils. This is done through a well elaborated and targeted selection of children that must benefit said prizes. Because the program concerns all the regions of Cameroon without any distinction in order to reward the most deserving pupils.

The objective is to encourage the children to give the best of themselves in their school training, so the children are more motivated and interest in education.

For that reason Fondation Kana decided to support and motivate the pupils with annual awards at the end of every school year.

So the delivery of our Award for excellence took place for three years in several schools of the various regions of Cameroon where the best pupils of every age were chosen, as well as some teachers for their profound commitment.

Fondation Kana offered school kit including all that it is necessary to a child for the following school year as well as the certificates of encouragements for the teachers.
