A Swiss non-profit dedicated to the education and health of primary-school pupils in East Cameroon.
Based in Switzerland, “Des Enfants, Des Sourires” is a non-profit association born from a simple conviction: every child, regardless of where they were born, deserves dignified conditions.
We focus our actions on primary schools in underserved areas of the Doumé district, in the East region of Cameroon. Our approach is pragmatic: one concrete, targeted project every year.
