About us

[Français]

« CAEF-F4, the Circle of Friends of F4 Children and Women (or Cercle des Amis de l'Enfant et de la Femme F4 in French) was born a few years ago of the conceptual thinking of a group of friends. We believed that it would be possible to break the cycle of poverty in underserved areas of West Cameroon, particularly F4-villages, by empowering women and children. To get the ball rolling, we decided to promote youth education by starting a scholarship program to offer awards to the highest ranked students of Fongo-Ndeng High School. Since then, our circle of friends has tremendously expanded its range of activities and has grown much larger. We now are a group of friends and members that span across several countries, including France, the United States and Canada. » [More from our president...]

CAEF-F4 is lead by an executive committee of five [The members of our bureau...] and has over 50 members and friends spanned across four continents in Cameroon, France, Canada, and the United States. Together, we strive on a yearly basis to raise at least 1,000,000F CFA (~ $2,000 US, $2,000 CAD or €1,500) in monetary funds or teaching supplies.
