Our values are the respect of the person, the dignity, the benevolence, the listening, the attention, the consideration which one bears to him, while considering that each human possesses at the bottom of him this potential which allows him to himself to develop oneself .
The values of the Smile village are at the end and globally the gift of the smile in close relation with the primary objective of the smiledation
It aims to protect, treat, educate and to contribute to the prevention and promotion of the human being and his/her values, to break social barriers,to set a meeting place “to give and receive”. In a context where the weakening of people has become quite common, where youth in the world seeks to find a place in the firmament, where the identity struggle is more and more present, in a context of the decline of African solidarity and hence in Cameroon, it seems essential to build on bases aiming at promoting the quality of life and the strengthening social cohesion.
The “Smile” village will be located on the section linking Douala, economic capital and Yaounde, political capital city, and with also cities like Kribi and Edéa being also at a short distance away, the Smile village will be located around Japoma, along the Highway Douala-Yaoundé. The choice of that location is not purposeless because it promotes a strategic situation giving rapid access to national users, to those coming from the Central Africa subregion and overseas because of its proximity to the airport (20 minutes from the international airport of Douala). Our values are the respect of the person, the dignity, the benevolence, the listening, the attention, the consideration which one bears to him, while considering that each human possesses at the bottom of him this potential which allows him to himself to develop oneself .
