INITIATION OF CWN PROJECTS

The Pomme Cannelle Association (APC) is a non-profit organization (humanitarian and charitable association) under the 1901 law created in September 2001 (registration with the Vendée Prefecture on September 6, 2001 , publication in the Official Journal of September 29, 2001 – announcement 1562, APE: 9499Z, SIREN: 504 768.177) to support the project of its founder, Hervé LAFOUX, (then a physicist-researcher at the Atomic Energy Commission) personally involved with groups of street children in Nepal from 1997 until his death in 2014. APC-FRANCE, the donor agency of CWN, was founded by the late Dr. Herve Lafoux is a charity organization in France registered under the 1901 association law. The headquarters of the association is in LA ROCHE SUR YON, 85000.

APC-FRANCE was established in 2001. Meanwhile, the similar name of the organization, Association for the Protection of the Children-Nepal (APC-NEPAL), was created by Lafoux in 2006. APC-France was the regular donor agency of APC-NEPAL since its inception from 2006 to 2022. In 2022, the agreement between APCN & APCF has been accomplished and has not been renewed, as a result, the project with APC-NEPAL was closed.

Similarly, after the departure from APCN, a group of staffs serving over decade of their service at APC-Nepal & working closing with late dr. Herve lafoux (in past when he stayed at Nepal & worked as representative of APCF), took initiation to bring project through an organization named Child Welfare Nepal (CWN) in order to serve & continue the support to the same needy students whose support has been stopped through APCN due to closure of project between APCN & APCF. Hence, CWN is the organization establish in memory of Dr. Herve Lafoux & continue all the project and program activities related to school support program which was operated by APC-Nepal before.
