mainstream services due to language and cultural barriers.
 

CAS aims to fight against knowledge gaps, disease, poverty and social exclusion among the
whole disadvantaged communities in general and Africans and French speaking

and improve access, and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare, recreational,

multicultural community, that provides inclusive services, promotes community cohesion
