THE PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE OF THE CAMEROON HEALTH and EDUCATION FUND IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND EDUCATION OF UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN CAMEROON, WEST AFRICA. THERE ARE NOW 4.4 MILLION PEOPLE IN CAMEROON IN NEED OF HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE LONG-STANDING VIOLENCE IN THE TWO ENGLISH SPEAKING REGIONS OF CAMEROON. THE CAMEROON HEALTH and EDUCATION FUND (CHEF) IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER, NONPROFIT, APOLITICAL CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION. IN 2021 CHEF SUPPORTED A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED BY THE CAMEROON BAPTIST CONVENTION HEALTH SERVICES (CBCHS) WHICH PROVIDE MEDICAL AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE AS WELL AS PROVIDING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES AND SUPPORT TO IMPROVEMENTS IN MEDICAL FACILITIES. CBCHS PROVIDES "FEE FOR SERVICE" CARE TO ALL PATIENTS WHO NEED IT, BUT OFTEN PATIENTS ARE NOT ABLE TO PAY THESE LOW FEES BECAUSE OF POVERTY. THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR THE COST OF HEALTH CARE AND NO INSURANCE COVERAGE. CHEF FUNDS SUBSIDIZE THE COST OF CARE THAT SAVES MANY LIVES AND PREVEN
