LAST SOCIAL ACTIVITIES The Michele Ferrero Entrepreneurial Project in Cameroon has focused its social and humanitarian initiatives on supporting the efforts of local government’s educational authorities to upgrade pre-school and primary school facilities. In October 2016, new classrooms were created for children and young people at the Gado-Badzere refugee camp in the south-east of the country, on the border with the Republic of Central Africa. The camp hosts thousands of people - coming mainly from the Republic of Central Africa - who took refuge in Cameroon to escape the war which is raging their country. Among these there are over 2,000 children between 6 and 8 years of age, half of whom do not attend compulsory schooling. The initiative was implemented in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR, a specialized agency already awarded two Nobel Peace Prizes).
