OUR STORY
In the heart of Cameroon, a developing nation fraught with challenges in accessing quality healthcare, Samhel Foundation emerges as a transformative force. Beyond being a nonprofit organization, Samhel embodies the profound impact personal experiences can have in shaping a vision for positive change. At its core, Samhel is on a mission to establish a world where accessible and comprehensive healthcare is not a luxury but a fundamental human right.
​
The genesis of Samhel Foundation lies in the firsthand experiences of its founder, who, from an early age, witnessed the stark disparities within Cameroon's healthcare system. The scenes of hospitals grappling with limited resources, medical professionals navigating inadequate facilities, and individuals confronting preventable diseases painted a vivid picture of a healthcare system in dire need of intervention. These experiences were not abstract observations but rather a lived reality—a call to action that demanded attention.
​
A poignant episode in this narrative revolves around a family member's motorcycle accident, unfolding a series of events that underscored the critical deficiencies in the healthcare infrastructure. The emergency transport to the nearest facility appeared promising, but the subsequent transfer to a more urban center revealed a harsh truth. The delay in diagnosis and treatment was not a consequence of insufficient skill or dedication but rather a result of the absence of essential medical equipment. This personal connection to the inadequacies of the system became the catalyst propelling the creation of Samhel Foundation.
​
What sets Samhel apart is not just its mission but the guiding ethos that permeates its actions. Samhel addresses not only the symptoms but the root causes of healthcare disparities. With a community-centric approach, the foundation recognizes the resilience and capacity of local communities to drive change. It is about empowering individuals, fostering a sense of ownership, and creating sustainable improvements that endure beyond immediate relief.
