Welcome to the Gnipieven Tekombo Foundation!
we have built a state-of-the art clinic in Bikok to provide comprehensive care, from surgery to pediatrics, serving as a cornerstone for health in the community.
Our services extend beyond our walls through mobile "Travelling Doctors" for remote villages and specialized programs to support and educate vulnerable adolescent mothers.
We help local nonprofits access the funding, tools, training, and support they need to become more.
Every donation goes directly to our projects. Our volunteer-powered model ensures that your support fuels real change on the ground, with complete transparency.
The Purpose of our foundation is to provide medical care and promote the sustainable development of African countries. The foundation also promotes knowledge transfer and know-how sharing between Europe and the African continent in medical matters and sustainable development (Sustainable Development Goals).
The initial purpose was realized through the construction of a modern clinic in Cameroon.
The Gnipieven Tekombo Foundation is supported by its Donors. Through this commitment, we aim to sustainably improve healthcare in Cameroon.

We are driven by a single, powerful purpose: to close the critical gap in healthcare and sustainable development. We achieve this not by simply providing aid, but by building a legacy of self-sufficiency through education, infrastructure, and partnership. Our work ensures a lasting improvement in the living conditions for the people of Africa, starting in Cameroon.
Our overarching goal is the sustainable development of countries in Africa through modern medical care and a reciprocal transfer of knowledge and know-how between Europe and the African continent.
We achieve this by directly working to close the gap in sustainable development and create a lasting improvement in the living conditions of the people in Africa.
We create lasting change through sustainable action and reciprocal partnership. Our model combines local African leadership with global support, ensuring every donation builds self-sufficient healthcare systems and fosters a vital exchange of knowledge. We guarantee 100% impact, with all resources going directly to empower communities for the long term.
The Gnipieven Tekombo Foundation is a non-profit foundation established in 2020 by Dr. Gnipieven Tekombo. It is a close partner of the Centre Médical Dr. Gnipieven Tekombo based in Switzerland. The foundation is dedicated to improving medical care and promoting sustainable development in Africa.
Our mission is twofold:
To ensure basic and modern medical care for the population of Africa, starting with Cameroon.
To foster the sustainable development of African countries through knowledge transfer and know-how sharing between Europe and the African continent, particularly in medicine and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our current flagship initiative, “Ado Matter,” supports pregnant girls and young mothers aged 14–19—one of Cameroon’s most vulnerable groups due to high rates of violence against women. Through the Dr. Gnipieven Tekombo Medical Center, participants receive prenatal, obstetric and postnatal care, sexual education, and childcare over four years, while also gaining vocational training in healthcare or construction via our partnership with Campus Pro Afrique Centrale. By combining health services with skills development, the program helps young mothers escape precarious situations, reduce health risks, and build sustainable futures for themselves and their children.
The foundation is entirely supported by donations from individuals and companies, as well as the commitment of volunteers. We rely on the generosity of our supporters to fund our projects.
