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.
