Child protection

HCOF commits to ensuring the physical, psychological, moral and spiritual safety of every child. Any act to the contrary is dealt with in the firmest way, in line with Cameroonian law and international child-protection standards.

What is prohibited

• Any form of physical or psychological violence.
• Any sexual abuse or sexual behavior toward a child.
• Any labor contrary to children's rights.
• Any discrimination based on ethnic, regional, social or family origin.

These acts lead to immediate dismissal and, where applicable, legal proceedings.

Raising a concern

Anyone who witnesses or suspects mistreatment must report it immediately. No retaliation is tolerated against anyone who reports in good faith, and the competent authorities are notified if the facts are confirmed. Write to HCOF.

Images and dignity

Photographing or filming children without express authorization is prohibited. Each child's file is strictly confidential, and their dignity is respected in all public communications and donor reports. That is why this site shows no child's face without consent.
