In 2002, following a visit by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco to Yaoundé, MAP financed the construction of the Edimar Centre – Princess Grace House. The institution welcomes more than 160 young people in street situations every day and aims to offer them a better future and to support them in the development of their life projects. For almost 20 years, MAP has supported the Centre Edimar and contributes each year to cover part of its operating costs. Since 2020, an educational and professional scholarship program has been launched for 30 children and young people, with the support of the Government of Monaco. A second 3-year phase has been selected, and will be financed until 2026.
