The First Lady, Mrs. Dominique Ouattara, received a delegation from the Association of Wives of Presidents of Institutions and Ministers (ADEM) in audience at her office on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.<\/p>\n

Led by its President, Mrs. Patricia Ahoussou Kouadio, and its Honorary President, Mrs. Amy Toungara, the association came to show its support for the wife of the Head of State through a significant sign of solidarity.<\/p>\n

Taking the floor, Ms. Patricia Ahoussou Kouadio praised the First Lady\u2019s social and humanitarian actions, before announcing a donation of five (5) million CFA francs to support her initiatives on behalf of the most vulnerable through the Children Of Africa Foundation. \u201cYou are an inspiring role model for us. We are following in your footsteps. (\u2026) Your commitment to the people started long before you became First Lady. That is why we have come here today to reaffirm our support for you through this donation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Moved by this show of solidarity, Mrs. Dominique Ouattara expressed her gratitude to ADEM members for their generosity and constant support for her various initiatives. She recalled that her humanitarian commitment dates back several years, well before President Alassane Ouattara\u2019s accession to the highest office. The First Lady also shared her satisfaction with the success of the Bingerville Mother and Child Hospital, one of her Foundation\u2019s flagship projects. \u201cI consider the Bingerville Mother and Child Hospital to be a great success,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

For her part, Amy Toungara, ADEM Honorary President , paid a heartfelt tribute to the First Lady. \u201cDominique, I have never seen a woman of a Head of State like her! You may not like her, but you will still acknowledge that she is kind and friendly,\u201d she said, before praising the commitment of the Head of State\u2019s wife to serving the most disadvantaged, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation.<\/p>\n

The meeting ended with the presentation of a book. Mrs. Sarah Diarrassouba Koffi, wife of Minister Souleymane Diarrassouba and author, presented the First Lady with a copy of her book entitled \u201cRania, the choice that destroyed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
