“These femmes are the pillars of their communities. Through knowledge and compassion, they are not only saving lives but also inspiring a brighter future in the most isolated regions.”
– Alex Wettstein, PDG et fondateur de Fair Future Foundation

Le Primary Medical Care programme has been operational for over two years and has improved the lives of thousands of people. This is all thanks to these extraordinarily dedicated and puissant women who go beyond their role as caregivers. They are true superheroes dedicated to saving lives in their communities. The work they do can only be described as exceptional.

Their role as educators is also evident in their position. They serve in remote schools that lack basic amenities comme par exemple électricité, water, et même roads. In these precarious circumstances, they play an indispensable role in maintaining the well-being of their isolated communities, especially since it can take hours ou even days to reach a medical care centre or a Puskesmas (Small Community Care Center). Their presence, therefore, remains essential to foster development in the villages that need it most.

Ces femmes emanate a spirit of Élargissement des pouvoirs et résilience. Their determined efforts shape the future of their communities, one patient at a time. In addition to medical care, they profoundly impact education, sanitation, and improving the community’s overall health.
