On May 16, the sun shone a special light on the New-Bell neighborhood of Douala. Our humanitarian association, from Marseille, made a simple but profoundly significant gesture: a distribution of essential foodstuffs to the orphanage l’Arche de MUMMY. Far from grand narratives, this mission is rooted in everyday life, a helping hand where the need is most felt: guaranteeing the fundamental right to food.
A Daily Battle Against an Empty Stomach
Behind the walls of MUMMY’s Ark, children live, each with their own dreams, but also their own challenges. The reality of food insecurity is a heavy burden for many, sometimes turning a simple meal into a constant worry. It is this vulnerability, this silent struggle of the youngest, that pushed us to act. We knew that for these children, as well as for the dedicated teams around them, direct food assistance represents much more than a simple convenience. It’s a real breath of fresh air, the assurance that hunger won’t steal the innocent joy of their childhood.

Each package was a step closer to hope, an outstretched hand that reaches across borders.


Are you ready to help them? Let’s become a volunteers...
