Presentation of the section
The IMS Central Africa Section has to date: 124 Groups with 3,133 members in 7 countries, namely: Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo and Chad.
When the IMS Central Africa Section was created, the Spiritans of Cameroon, with whom the Head Office signed the Agreement, were the first to join it. Indeed, they are Group 001 of the Section.
In fact, the Spiritans are a family of missionaries who arrived in Cameroon in 1916. They are present in the field of the first announcement of faith, education, parish pastoral care, inter-religious dialogue and childhood in difficulty among other things.
Since the creation of the IMS Section, they have been working tirelessly for the expansion of Healthcare Solidarity in Central Africa in their capacity as a Manager by encouraging communities, Congregations and Dioceses to join it. They preach by example by paying their contributions on time and by affiliating all their members present in Cameroon, Priests and students, with the aim of putting the concept of solidarity dear to the IMS into practice. The Spiritans have always benefited from the solidarity of the IMS up to the level of medical evacuations and the Social Fund agreement.
