Welcome to the Orphan Home of Yaounde -Essos.
Weare so happy to welcome

of living !
Pleasef o l l ow

Thecarpentry which
does some furniture andsome other wooden things forpeople from outside. This is the
place where the elder boyslearn how to work with
wood with uncle Elvis
The
Orphan Home of Yaounde-Essos includes the orphan home
and 2 independent small buildings which are not really part of the
Orphan Home.
The Health Center which is called “l’’Infirmerie” is the “Medical Center” for all the surroundings.
Uncle René is the male nurse ; he is “very capable” and he knows how to use themicroscope that Auntie Danielle has brought back from France 3 years

So we have to pump
manually to fill up buckets in order to take a
shower or to use for the toilets. And this is not
very easy for small kids like us.
To the left, there is the water
tank with the place for
washing and hanging out the
laundry. But the motor
pump does not work.
As you can see, coming
through the gate from outside, the buildings are
all around the courtyard.
Then,going down to the left,
there is the Girls’ dormitoryand, in the green building, theclassroom for the small children
which has been given by MadameAïssa Motaze. This is where we
all begin to learn how toread and write.
The
“Big ones” go
to the surrounding
schools ; and the
elder even go to High
School or to the
lycée d’Essos.

But,
as there is no
water, it really smells
very bad and we prefer to
go outside behind the
Orphan Home. .
Behind MadameAissa’s classroom, you can see
the white building where the showersand the toilets are.
Pour
se doucher, on va puiser un seau. Ce n’est pas très pratique ;
et puis, une des deux douches est bouchée, on patauge dans
l’’eau des autres. C’est mauvais !
This is the back way to go outside.
But,
as there is no
light, we have to be
very careful at
night time !

Justunder the covered
terrace where mostthings are done : meals,activities, taking a nap,

Going back up to the entrance door, on the left side, this is
the place where the food is cooked.
Withmy girlfriends,
we lov e par t i e s .On the night before, we haveour hair washed and plaitedwith white pearls. And we
all put a beautifuldress on.
Weall sing and we
really enjoy ourselves.Everyone is taking goodcare of us. It is just like
if we were in a real Family.

who bring us candies and some gifts. Some even make videos of us to be put on

Last October, many people came to
visit the Orphan Home and they took many pictures. Tantine has told us that there
might be some renovations to be done to renew the Orphan Home that would be
paid by people from all over the World.
That’s it,you have almostfinished to go all
around. I am going towalk you back to theentrance door; thisway, we will walkjust in front of theExecutive Office
We really
would like to
have water, showers
and toilets, because
it is sometimes
really hard for all
of us.
So you won’t forget me, here is a picture of
myself with my boyfriends and my girlfriends during a party!You will easily recognise me as I am the one with plaids with white pearls on the head some people
even say that I look very naughty! Let me send you some big hugs. Please don’t forget me ; I won’t forget you because you are “so very nice”!

I. The needs
➢ septic tank for all waters(sewage water & black water) ;

• or by “vertical sand filter” (traditional),
➢ minimum taking care of ;
➢ in between cleaning : 4 years.
II. How to do it :
➢ Import : non realistic solution • Uncertain local distributor ?
• After sales service?
• Cost of transportation?
• Custom fees ?
➢ Locally done :• to be privileged because of all the “import problems”
➢ To be done under the control of the Rotary Club of Yaoundé Collines :
• A company which could do all that is to be found ;
• All the quotations are to be established .
COMING FROM THAT
Would it be the cooking room or
the “outside cooking place”, both
have no functional place to work
on, no water available, and no
elementary hygiene

TO RESTRUCTURE THE COLLECTIVE KITCHEN
BY GIVING THE MINIMUM NECESSARY HYGIENE
Without replacing the traditional ways of doing, to be
able to cook for about 75 people (50 children) with a
minimum of comfort and hygiene.
This goes along with the Health of everyone, and
especially for the Children.
This requires
I- To reorganize the room where meals are prepared
in order to meet minimum hygiene rules :
➢ half height tiled walls ;
➢ creation of an easily cleanable work surface for food preparation ;
➢ installing a stainless steel sink with clean running drinking water ;
➢ to equip windows and doors with mosquito nets in order toprevent flies and mosquitoes to come in ;
➢ etc..
II- To reorganize the cooking area :
➢ installing a gate/barrier delimiting the cooking area with ano-animal access ;
➢ creation of a cooking surface above ground, with several fires, (wood or other means according to convenience) ;
➢ Setting up a collective stainless steel sink with clean runningdrinking water for washing up, according to the amount of
funds and to the users’ demands.
