One of the first major actions of the Children Of Africa Foundation in the field of education is undoubtedly the construction of the Dominique Ouattara Municipal College for the young girls of Kong.
It was in February 2000 that the Children Of Africa Foundation officially handed over the keys of the Dominique Ouattara Municipal College to the city of Kong. Initially created to give priority to young girls from the northern region of Côte d'Ivoire, where the weight of traditions and the distance from secondary schools force them to stop studying at the end of the primary cycle, the municipal college Dominique Ouattara of the young girls of Kong will finally become a mixed establishment by becoming the Dominique Ouattara College of Kong.
In 2012, the establishment will be completely renovated and will see its reception capacity reinforced. It then became the Lycée Dominique Ouattara in Kong.
The idea of creating the Children's Cabin dates back to September 1994. A group of friends, anxious to give children living in the streets a chance, decided to open a center to help them. Then in 1998, faced with management difficulties, these initiators decided to cede the center to Mrs. Dominique Ouattara who formalized her humanitarian commitment in Côte d'Ivoire.
In almost a quarter of a century, several generations of children in difficulty were rescued from the streets. Supervised and educated, all these children are today a source of pride for Mrs. Dominique Ouattara, President and Founder of Children Of Africa and their families.
The Children Of Africa Foundation has nine Bibliobuses which crisscross all regions of the country to introduce children to the pleasure of reading. The Bibliobuses are equipped with thousands of books of all kinds, computers connected to the Internet to allow children to learn about computers and a video projector that allows children to watch films and learn. .
The Children Of Africa Foundation has since 1998 organized several health caravans which have over the years strengthened its prestige among the poor. Indeed, the medical teams of Children Of Africa crisscrossed all the regions of the country from 1998 to 2017. It was a question of making their modest contribution in the improvement of the sight of children within the framework of the ophthalmological caravan, or furthermore, to protect the latter against endemic pathologies such as typhoid fever and meningitis. During the various health caravans run by the Foundation, thousands of children are systematically dewormed against intestinal worms of all kinds.
The Bingerville Mother-Child Hospital (MCH) construction project is one of the major projects of the Children of Africa Foundation. This project was wanted, designed and carried out by Mrs. Dominique Ouattara, President-Founder of Children Of Africa. The Bingerville Children's comes to provide an adequate response to the difficulties in caring for the mother-child couple in the health sector. This hospital is equipped with the latest medical technologies and a quality staff rigorously selected for their skills. It opened its doors to the populations in March 2018 for the 20th anniversary of the Foundation.
On the front line in the fight against Child Trafficking, Exploitation and Labor, Mrs. Dominique Ouattara through her Children Of Africa Foundation has undertaken to build three reception centers for children victims of these phenomena.
Three localities in Côte d'Ivoire were chosen to house these centers. These are the towns of Soubré, Bouaké and Ferkessédougou. The Soubré center is the first of the three to have been completed. It was inaugurated in April 2018, and the other two are under construction.
