CAMRAIL encourages the education of children with disabilities
CAMRAIL, concessionaire of the Cameroonian railway and subsidiary of Africa Global Logistics, is pleased to announce that it participated with enthusiasm and responsibility in the activities marking the celebration of the Day of the African Child on Thursday, June 13, 2024 in Douala, alongside the National Association of the Disabled in Solidarity of Cameroon and many guests gathered in the premises of the Douala 4th City Hall.
On this occasion, CAMRAIL handed over school kits to 383 children, including children with disabilities or children born to parents in a similar situation, internally displaced children or simply vulnerable children.
«We appreciate CAMRAIL's concern for our association and especially for its members. Our gratitude is infinite, although our wish remains to see CAMRAIL remain by our side» François Kuete Sindo, The president of the National Association of Disabled Solidarity of Cameroon
Worth 500,000 CFA francs, the school kits made available to the National Association of the Disabled in Cameroon were essentially made up of notebooks, books, academic boxes, pens and pencils as agreed by the two parties.
As a reminder, CAMRAIL and the National Association of Disabled Solidarity of Cameroon are bound by an agreement signed last year for a period of 2 years. Through the said association, it is a question of supporting educational efforts in favor of children with disabilities and thus giving them a chance, like all other children, to succeed.
«Our sponsorship policy focuses mainly on education, especially for the most disadvantaged social strata. We are delighted to support this noble adventure aimed at developing a competent and responsible youth. These values reflect those of Africa Global Logistics, of which CAMRAIL is one of the subsidiaries» Florence Epeti-Koum, Coordinator of Human Resources Administration
It is in this context that since the concession of the Cameroonian railway in 1999, CAMRAIL has offered donations to many associations, schools and hospitals as well as orphanages throughout the national territory and particularly within the communities bordering the railway.
