Giving hope and smiles to children
Welcome to the Bissa Foundation
Bissa Foundation’s Pillars
Education
In Cameroon, the education of children living with disabilities faces numerous difficulties. Bissa Foundation (BF) will promote children education and volunteer continuing education with professionals.
BF will base its effort on a qualitative education of the children with reduce mobility by providing educational scholarship and supplies to at least 10 children this coming academical year 2020-2021.
BF will support organizations and institutions dealing with disability issues and individuals involved in the educational process of these children.
Transportation
There is a lack of public awareness in Cameroon regarding the difficulties and dangers of transportation faced by children with reduced mobility. Public transport creates a barrier for children living with these mobility issues.
Bissa Foundation is planning to acquire adequate vehicles in other to facilitate these children to attend school, medical appointments and recreational activities. In addition, BF is planning on hiring qualified drivers to assist with these functions.
Health
It could be expected that children with reduced mobilities might need to repeat their class due to their physical condition. BF is willing to assist with the health issues of these children so they can perform the best that they can at school like their valid mates. In the time, as good as better than their classmates.
BF will refer these children with reduced mobility to the specialist physicians to take care of their annual physical exams prior to the start of the school year. The statistics show that 19.5% of children with disabilities in Cameroon are likely to repeat a class because they lack medical care to maintain a good health.
BF is prepared to assist these children with good medical care to improve their health and wellbeing. Thus, improving their odds for a better education.

At 5 years old, her parents noticed that she was limping a little, she did not put the sole of her foot on the ground when walking. They noticed her left foot was deformed and started experiencing worsening pain. The muscle mass had atrophied. Her motor handicap is obvious and Bissa foundation has made her eligible for assistance. She moved to live with her aunt to be able to attend school. She is enjoying it and doing well. Therese is receiving school tuition, food, transportation, and medical care. Also tutoring classes are funded by Bissa Foundation. The medical consultations and the care are also covered by Bissa Foundation. Therese has enjoyed been invited to Yaoundé for meetings and unforgettable festive moments.
