What we do

The foundation “Orthopedic Aid Projects” was already established in 1978 under a different name “Orthopedic Project Sierra Leone”. It visited that country twice a year for 2 weeks. Because of the terrible civil war (800.000 dead in total) that started in 1995, the foundation was forced to stop their activities and to leave everything that was built up in 17 years. After the name change to the present-day “Orthopedic Aid Projects “and after extensive/accurate preparations the activities were restarted in hospital “Saint Martin de Porres" in Njinikom, North West Provence, Cameroon, a mission hospital under leadership of the honorable sisters Franciscans, the same order that was active in Sierra Leone



The former foundation “Holland aids Worldwide” in optimal consideration with us has built new constructions to replace the dated theathre rooms, 2 surgical departments and the radiology department. They also took care of several renovations and of paving of the whole hospital area and entrance. The disposal of 2 well equiped theatres made it possible to do more operations and more complex surgery. All members of the foundation do their utmost best to get donations and sponsors to bear the costs of necessary medical equipment.
