Rural education

A dignified school year for every pupil

Together with the Edéa 1st district basic education inspectorate, we support Ongué public primary school (Yassoukou canton): exercise books, books, slates and supplies, children’s book drives in France, and recognition for teachers.

Goal: extend this support to more rural schools every year.

Food baskets prepared for a solidarity distribution

Solidarity & mutual aid

Collect, share, waste nothing

In the Paris region, our volunteers run food collections and put together solidarity baskets for families going through a hard time.

In line with our statutes, Lipan Care also mobilises for emergency humanitarian aid in the event of conflict or natural disaster.

Local development & citizenship

Projects that create value locally

  • Training “From idea to project” (Yaoundé, May 2026) with MAMOUM, CCA Bank and Cam Lab Learning: defining a project, testing feasibility, raising funds.
  • Cameroonian crafts: selling handcrafted objects supports our work and local makers.
  • Responsible tourism & environment: we amplify initiatives that protect the forest and its people, such as the Ebolowa fair.
  • Citizenship in France: helping people with their rights and duties in Sartrouville and the Paris region.
