SOLIDARITY
RPN – Return to Homeland
A solidarity network for the dignified repatriation of our loved ones.
WHY RPN
Why RPN?
There is no suitable repatriation insurance in North America for when a death occurs. Too often, the community has to organize emergency public fundraising to bring a loved one home.
The RPN (Retour au Pays Natal) network brings together volunteer Cameroonian and African associations to end such public collections through the strength of numbers: every death becomes the whole community’s concern.

AMAC AND RPN
How it works for our members
Mandatory affiliation
AMAC is officially registered with RPN and every regular member is affiliated. A member who prefers not to join must show proof of equivalent insurance.
Who is covered?
Regular members, probationary members (through their sponsors) and relatives (parents, minor children, siblings) visiting Canada.
Contributions
When a call for contributions is made, each member sends their share (individual coefficient × number of people registered) to AMAC’s treasurer within 72 hours and keeps a sufficient balance in their RPN account.
