After 18 years of tireless dedication, we extend our sincere thanks to Valérie Keller! With great commitment and passion, she has played a crucial role in the success of the foundation as the head of the Zurich office. Through her work, she provided essential support to Lotti, allowing her to fully focus on her projects in Côte d'Ivoire – for this, we are endlessly grateful!

At the beginning of the year, Valérie decided to embark on a new path, and we wish her all the best in this new chapter. Since mid-July, Tina Erb has joined our team and taken over Valérie's responsibilities. A warm welcome to you, Tina! We look forward to working together and wish you much joy and success in facing the challenges ahead!

Dear Sponsors,

I would like to share with you two stories that have left fresh wounds in my heart. I don’t know how many more wounds my heart can bear, but it seems to be both brave and strong, for which I am infinitely grateful. Above all, I am thankful that it has never grown callous. - Read the latest Newsletter of Lotti.

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.
