#Save140000childrens
#Save140000Children is a global campaign for the prevention and awareness of the Noma disease, which devours the faces of children due to malnutrition and extreme poverty.
It's a lesser-known disease that destroys the lives of tens of thousands of children every year. Noma, a form of facial gangrene, primarily affects children aged 2 to 6. Nearly 90% of them die, while the survivors endure terrible suffering, forever disfigured. Today, football champions Roger Milla and Joseph-Antoine Bell are leveraging their fame to fight against this disease. They are launching a global campaign for prevention and awareness to prevent this tragedy from affecting more children.

Solidarity Fund for Children affected by Noma
Noma Fund is a fund to combat Noma disease. This disease, which affects over 140,000 children aged 2 to 6 each year, still afflicts the poorest populations in South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
Every year, approximately 100,000 children under the age of 6 die from Noma. This Gangrene, which attacks the oral and facial area, primarily affects the poorest regions of the world and is particularly devastating in Africa.
2022 Clean Water Permanently in Schools
In 2022, our project 'Clean Water Permanently in Schools' was successfully launched at the Ekoudou public school in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
We laid the foundation stone for this ambitious project, marking the beginning of our mission toprovide free drinking water to public schools.As part of this initiative, we launched campaigns to drill for clean water, ensuring a constant water supply.
Furthermore, we constructed a platform for the installation of a 5000-liter water storage tank, guaranteeing ontinuous access to clean water for the students and staff of the school.
Noma Fund, by its president, Roger Milla
I am Albert Roger Milla, a former international football player for the Cameroon national team. The cause I am reaching out to you about is Noma, a disease of extreme poverty, Gangrenethat leaves children without a face. This formidable disease, which kills almost all of its victims, spares the lives of the remaining 10% by leaving them completely disfigured, condemning them to hide and worsening their already precarious social condition.
The Project 'Act Against Noma 2021-2030', which I have the honor to sponsor along with other former football legends (such as the renowned goalkeeper Joseph-Antoine Bell), aims to eliminate this disease by 2030 in African countries. To achieve this, it envisions a comprehensive plan of awareness and mobilization, as well as the establishment of facilities for rapid care and reintegration of victims noma.
In the short term, we aim to see the establishment of a regional African hospital dedicated to severe cases of the disease. Currently, the few cases treated are handled in specialized European hospitals at very high costs, covered by some humanitarian organizations providing occasional assistance through a chain of solidarity.
I invite all well-intentioned individuals, both in politics and the private sector, from governments to philanthropists of all kinds, to join us in this fight for the dignity of our children so that together we can end the tragedy of Noma.
You have often seen me in the past, supporting numerous initiatives in African soil in my capacity as the President of the Heart of Africa Foundation. But this time, just when I thought I had been exposed to all forms of suffering, I was particularly struck by the phenomenon of children without faces. That's why through this initiative, I want to do even more, by getting more involved in this humanitarian action to achieve the complete eradication of this terrible childhood disease linked to extreme poverty.
Commit to Children with Noma
Every year, approximately 140,000 children under the age of 6 die from Noma. This Gangrene, which attacks the oral and facial area, primarily affects the poorest regions of the world and is particularly devastating in Africa.
Through field actions and awareness campaigns aimed at public authorities, we aim to push back the disease and enable the most vulnerable children to protect themselves against this scourge.
Our ambition is also to facilitate access to care at the first signs of the disease, significantly reducing its mortality rate.
To achieve this, the association aims to strongly commit to large-scale initiatives, including the construction of primary care centers and a regional reference hospital in Africa. These solutions would enable a swift, efficient, and optimal response to the disease.
Support Noma Fund
To achieve these goals, Noma Fund relies on the commitment of its members. By making a donation to the association, signing the petition addressed to the authorities, or joining Noma Fund, you can help us push back againstnoma, and protect the most vulnerable children from this scourge that still claims the lives of thousands of children today.
