At the service of street children

Based in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, on the hills of Mvolyé, the Home l'Espérance is a diocesan non-profit association, recognized as being of public interest by the Cameroonian state, dedicated to the protection of children in difficulty.

Created in 1977, on the initiative of Brother Yves Lescanne, it works for the reception, protection and family and social reintegration of children and young people from the street and from the city's prison. It has four centers: the Mvan listening center, the Brother Yves Lescanne house, the Noah's Ark home, as well as the socio-educational center in the minors' section of the Yaoundé central prison.

As a Christian organization, the Home l'Espérance is inspired by the love and predilection of Jesus for the children, the youngest and the excluded of our society, without distinction of race, religion or nationality.

Restore the taste for live

"We accompany those who suffer in body and heart, giving them concrete fraternal help, hope in friendship and faith; we want to be a sign of hope and a service of communion among men."

The Maria Deepthi dispensary is located in the same place as the college and the house of  the Sisters Servants of Mary in Panakahalli, a village in the state of Tamil Nadu, in southern India. It welcomes the most vulnerable and needy population (elderly, women, children).

The Servants of Mary are very involved in this mission and offer permanent support to the people who come to them, doing everything possible to "give them a taste for life".

The center provides preventive and basic health care, treats cases that do not require hospitalization and administers medication if necessary. It ensures the follow-up of patients and home visits for those who are unable to travel.

Welcoming, peace, tenderness and human dignity

Under the aegis of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Cross, the Jubilee Center Korhogo, in the north of the Ivory Coast, receives all the mentally ill from the northern region, Burkina, Mali and the sub-region. Every year we receive about five hundred new cases of mental illness. These are people who are ridiculed, mocked, bullied, and beaten.

We want to be a place of welcome, of peace, of tenderness, of family and social integration, we want to give back dignity and value to each patient. Through care (neuroleptic drugs), through listening, through prayer together, through work, through study, through games. For this we have a library, an agro-pastoral farm, a workshop for making wire mesh...
