The purpose of the St. Camille Foundation is to promote and support the St. Camille Association founded by Mr. Gregoire Ahongbonon and located in Bouaké in the Ivory Coast and in Avrankou in Benin. This association provides help to social outcasts, in particular mental health sufferers, and strives to liberate them, provide them with shelter and rehabilitate them into society.

The Foundation also promotes and supports the activities of other organisations pursuing similar goals, helping as well to establish a local partnership with the purpose of promoting public awareness of the problems.

Furthermore, the Foundation actively works towards developing a culture of caring for and rehabilitating the mentally ill.

The Foundation undertakes in particular to provide technical and financial support for the development of local business enterprises, that will allow the integration of the mentally ill into working and social environments.
