Welfare Works of the F.O.M.
The civic milestone documented by the semi-postal charity issue the development of centralized colonial welfare networks under the banner "Œuvres Sociales F.O.M." (Social Works of the French Overseas Empire). Released in 1951, this surcharge stamp marks an intensive post-war state campaign aimed at modernizing public health, establishing pediatric medical dispensaries, and rolling out systematic vaccination initiatives for indigenous families. By routing this fundraising vehicle through the postal system, the territorial administration financed regional health clinics, using medical diplomacy to combat infant mortality and manage localized diseases within the Horn of Africa.
