WHERE WE HELP

Daniel Kone

Together with its partner Sapharm, Global Humanitaria has been working in the country since 2006. Côte d’Ivoire is a country defined by wars of the years 2002 and 2010, which forced the displacement of its people and deprived them of access to basic services such as education and healthcare.

We started with a sanitation project in 62 schools in Daloa, a recipient site for people displaced by the conflict. Afterwards, we started a food security program in 22 school canteens, which are supplied by women’s cooperatives supported by Global Humanitaria. Furthermore, we have conducted maternal and child care projects in 76 localities, as well as literacy programs for women that include the construction of classrooms and the training of teachers. In Bodouakro, we built a school for 300 children, completed with a school canteen supported by the village women’s agricultural cooperative. In the same vein, we have continued working in Sikaboutou, Diolabougou, and Seribadougou, improving children’s access to primary education, building schools and school canteens, and teaching literacy courses for women.
