Who we are

Three arcs, one movement

MAMIKEU — the Association of the children of Marie Mikeu — was created on the initiative of all the children who lived with Marie Mikeu. Its mission: to contribute to the socio-economic development of educationally and economically disadvantaged people, in particular teenage mothers, widows and orphans, through training, education, mentorship, workshops, coaching and entrepreneurship.

The association takes root in the values of equity and equal opportunity. It runs on a voluntary basis: the members contribute, decide and carry out the projects on the ground, with schools, the town council and partner foundations.
