Six hundred children received school kits during the second Hope Day, an initiative supporting pupils from orphanages and disadvantaged communities before the new school year.

The event took place on Saturday, September 5, 2026, in Abidjan’s Azito-Sicogi district. Organized by the NGO Espoir Pour Tous Impact, chaired by Pastor Roland Sombo, it provided supplies to children from primary school through the final year of secondary school.

The operation also helped about 40 widows, who received food kits. Beneficiaries came from orphanages and disadvantaged communities in several Abidjan municipalities, including Yopougon, Abobo, Anyama, Koumassi and Marcory.

The message from the initiative’s founder was direct: a disadvantaged background should not prevent social success. “These kits are the boost they need to move forward and believe in themselves,” he said, adding, “We believe that behind every child lies …”
