About Us

Reaching out to the forgotten,
soothing suffering and sowing hope.

Who are we?

Created in Cameroon, Joseph Mendo'o Foundation (FJM) is a humanitarian, apolitical and non-profit association, governed by law n°90/053 of December 19, 1990 on freedom of association. Its essential mission is to help disadvantaged people and combat all forms of suffering, with compassion, dignity and commitment.

La FJM agit chaque jour pour redonner espoir à celles et ceux que la vie a mis à l’épreuve : les malades sans ressources, les personnes en situation de handicap, les orphelins, les enfants abandonnés, les femmes en zones rurales, les familles démunies. À travers des actions concrètes, la Fondation s’engage à alléger les souffrances humaines et à favoriser l’inclusion sociale.

Our approach is based on proximity and solidarity. We distribute medicines and medical equipment to hospitals and health centers in need of resources, organize free training courses for people in precarious situations, support women in their empowerment, and support vulnerable children through educational and psychosocial programs.

La Fondation Joseph Mendo’o, c’est aussi une vision : celle d’un monde où la pauvreté recule, où la famille est protégée, et où chaque être humain, quelle que soit sa condition, a droit à une vie digne. Grâce à un réseau de bénévoles engagés, de partenaires solidaires et de donateurs, nous transformons les élans de cœur en actions concrètes.

A word from the President of the Foundation

Dear visitor,

Welcome to the Joseph Mendo’o Foundation website.
Established on January 2, 2024, in honor of the late Joseph Mendo’o, our foundation carries forward the legacy of a man deeply committed to uplifting the most vulnerable in society. Today, we are confronted with a sobering reality: too many of our brothers, sisters, and children endure neglect, poverty, and suffering—often without support, without a voice, and without hope

Our response is action. Guided by solidarity, and faith in a better world we work where the need is greatest—whether by aiding underserved patients, supporting orphans, empowering women in distress, or protecting the most marginalized.

We invite you to explore our work, join our mission, and share our belief that that every life deserves dignity, care, and opportunity.

With gratitude,

Dr Olivier Mendo'o
President of the Joseph Mendo'o Foundation
