Collection of medical equipment and medicines, Creation and implementation of a twinning process between health structures here and those in Africa (North/South), prevention of STIs in migrant environments (AIDS, etc.), training of trainers (prevention relay).
Our activities
The first years of our activities were mainly dedicated to health prevention and support actions for migrants, in collaboration with local health organizations and regional support organizations. The year 2007 was marked by the birth of the Women's Challenge Health Center project in Cameroon (Djeleng Yom), as part of the International Solidarity project for migrant associations. This resulted in the identification of our partner in Cameroon – the Kounchiechoue Association and collaboration in local achievements.

Our activities
Our presence in France - The first years of our activities were mainly dedicated to health prevention actions and support for migrants, in collaboration with local health organizations and regional support organizations in France. This remains one of our main activities in France, particularly in the departments of Val de Marne, and the city of Choisy le Roi.
Our presence in Cameroon - The year 2007 was marked by the birth of the Health Center project "Défi de Femmes" in Cameroon, within the framework of the International Solidarity project for associations from migrants. This was realized by the identification of our partner in Cameroon - the Nkounchiechoue Association and collaboration in local achievements. This includes the construction of the Health Center "Défi de Femmes" (link to our Project) on land offered by our local partner in Cameroon, in Poumougne, Djeleng Yom (link to the geographical map), its progressive development and its management.
The activities of the Associations, in France as in Cameroon, are delivered by volunteers who support our idea of improving health for young people, old people, women and men, through “Health Prevention Europe & Africa”. Our activities are supported by donations from our supporters.
