They traveled to Côte d’Ivoire to support the Children of Africa association. On March 11, 2022, the first lady Dominique Ouattara, founder of the organization, organized a VIP visit to the school group she financed, including two primary schools, an infirmary, a school canteen which allows children coming from afar to eat on site, and a sports field. She then received all her guests – and there were many! – during a gala evening and an auction.
It is thanks to this same event, organized last year, that the school group of Abobo was able to see the light of day. This year, Dominique Ouattara, the wife of Alassane Ouattara, hopes to be able to finance two additional establishments: a home for women victims of violence and their children, and the expansion of the Children’s Case, which has been welcoming vulnerable children since 1998. . “Another huge thank you Mrs. Dominique Ouattara for what you do for the children of Africa“, writes Noémie Lenoir, who participated in each stage of the journey dedicated to charity, on social networks.
The day after the gala dinner, concocted by the three-starred chef Yannick Alleno and the Ivorian chef Prisca Gilbert, some guests found themselves near the beach of Assinie, at the house of Akoula, to attend a lunch “between lagoon and sea“. Noémie Lenoir thus found, among others, Iris Mittenaere and her companion Diego El Glaoui at the water’s edge, as well as Gary Dourdan, Prince Charles Philippe of Orléans, Adriana Karembeu, Aure Atika, Isaach de Bankolé and MC Solaar, Dominique Ouattara, the Toofan group, Zeynab, comedian Samuel Le Bihan and Claudy Siar.
