Mrs. R. arrived in Switzerland in 1993 where she lived for 27 years. After she lost her residence permit, she had to leave Switzerland and return to Cameroon. At the age of 47, she was reunited with her mother and sister in Yaoundé. She opened a bar that works very well and allows her to employ family members, which ensures them a regular income and a dignified life.
Message from Mrs. R.
The reintegration program has helped me by giving me the chance to open a Bar-Restaurant that works well and allows me to survive. I am proud and grateful to the Red Cross and SSI Switzerland because without these two organizations, I don’t know what I would have become. The most beautiful memory in the realization of my project was to follow the work step by step and to be accompanied by great people. I remain optimistic for the future because my Bar works very well. I thank with all my heart, Mr. Dalle Biack, for guiding me for this project here at Cameroon and Michelle, my angel, because without you and your moral support I don’t know if I could have carried it through because there were some very difficults moments during the realization, but thanks to your support and your advice, I was able to realize it!
