Education and medical care for street children in Cameroon

UNISP provides health care and promotes the social and professional reintegration of young people run away from home or been released from prison.

In Cameroon thousands of young people, aged between 10 and 20, leave the countryside for the city to escape difficult family situations. Very often, however, especially because of the lack of education, they struggle to integrate into society and end up living on the street.

We wants to prevent this phenomenon by providing health care and promoting the social and professional reintegration of young people who find themselves alone, living on the street, after having run away from home or been released from prison.

Since 2001, the Edimar Center has been helping the street children in Cameroon through a series of actions aimed at improving their living conditions, providing acceptance, orientation, education, medical and psychological assistance, while also organizing cultural and awareness-raising activities.
