The purpose of our charitable action

The aim of the first phase of the project “Acting against Noma 2021-2030″ is therefore to raise awareness of Noma among at least 80% of the community, and to promote basic prevention methods to reduce the disease.
This purpose concerns the 10 countries integrated into the project (Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal and Democratic Republic of Congo), and targets as a priority those most likely to be affected by the disease. Schools and families are at the heart of this first phase of our charitable action, the results of which will be seen fairly quickly.

Means of action

In order to ensure the success of this first phase, all communication channels will be used, namely: picture banners, posters, flip-charts, radio and/or television messages broadcast in local and/or official languages on public, private and community radio and television channels, educational talks within women’s groups and associations, criers and griots trained in the ambulatory dissemination of messages in the communities…

The main targets of our charitable action are families and schools, due to the age group most affected by the disease (children under 6 years of age). In the long term, Noma Fund hopes that a sustainable communication chain will be created to keep local populations alert about Noma risk factors.
