Who we are

Every child deserves to learn and grow with dignity.

Based in Switzerland, “Des Enfants, Des Sourires” is a non-profit association born from a simple conviction: every child, wherever they come from, has the right to learn and thrive in dignified conditions.

We focus our actions on primary schools in underserved areas of the Doumé district, in the East region of Cameroon. Our approach is pragmatic: one concrete, targeted project every year, to durably transform the daily lives of our pupils.
