"(…) As you know, the welfare of our children has always been a major concern for me. This is what gives evidence to the humanitarian work carried out by Children Of Africa Foundation for children since 1998. As a result, I am particularly attentive to the situation of the children of the SOS village of Abobo and their welfare. To see them grow and flourish in a healthy environment, despite the difficult moments faced at the beginning of their lives, is a real source of happiness and appeasement" Mrs. Dominique Ouattara, President of Children Of Africa Foundation rejoiced.
