Election to the Board of the Foundation

We are very pleased to announce the election of Sarah Latrous as a new member of the Foundation Board. Knowing her mother Lotti’s project from a young age, Sarah first made her way into the International Hospitality Industry, then in Marketing and Events for medical organizations and charities. Today she lives in London working as an Events Manager at the University of Chicago Booth.

Sarah regularly travels to Côte d'Ivoire and has always been close to Centres l'Espoir and all of its residents and staff - especially the children with whom she grew up and spent most of her summer school time. She will support the fate of the Foundation with all her heart and will be able to transmit the spirit of the Centres L’Espoir to all of us.

Lotti Latrous

Lotti Latrous chose a remarkable way: She gave up her privileged life in order the help the poorest among the poor: The people in the slums of Adjouffou in the Ivory Coast.  She independently built a hospital, an ambulatory and an orphange. Thus she saved thousands of life.

She received several awards for her humanitary committment.

Dear Sponsors
I hope with all my heart that you are all well.

I have already told you a lot about our new village Ayobâ, now there is news again. In the last two months, my husband Aziz has built a recreation room, a so called “apatam” in Ayobâ. A room in which our seniors have the opportunity to eat their meals together, watch TV together, play board games, and now and then we organise a dance evening with good food. The first one already took place and it was just a great pleasure. The children were also invited and young and old had a good time together. To be able to give all these people a home where they are happier than ever before in their lives is an unspeakably great gift.
