The RPN network has boldly taken charge by establishing an organization to unite all Cameroonian groups and volunteer associations dedicated to eliminating the practice of public fundraising following a death.
We urge every member of the community to join an association of their preference. It is vital to avoid isolation and foster a sense of belonging within the community to prevent situations like those experienced in Canada, where individuals' nationalities were often only revealed posthumously, leaving them disconnected and without community support.

Funds from donors and member associations are managed according to budget lines, ensuring all transactions are conducted transparently. RPN strictly uses the funds for its primary objective.

Our members are covered for death occurring anywhere in the world, provided they maintain their primary address in Canada and their membership with the sponsoring association or group is undisputed.
RPN has delegated this responsibility to member associations and groups that are closer to their members. However, it is highly recommended that the first and last names in the database match the members' official documents.
Upon registration, each association/group as well as all individuals sponsored by the same association/group are assigned an identification code. In the event of a death, RPN conducts a formal investigation to confirm that the deceased is a member of the RPN Network. This investigation includes an identification process carried out officially by professionals (such as Magnus Poirier), who have the authority and means to produce the deceased's medical file as required.
The association/group pays $20 for RPN Network membership. This membership gives the association/group the privilege to provide coverage to all of its members.
Membership takes effect from the day RPN receives the membership fees.
Coverage of members takes effect 90 calendar days following their date of registration with RPN.
