The new foundation will focus on children in French-speaking countries and we expect to work closely with them as there are many French speaking countries in Africa.

The new foundation has set the target of reaching 1 million children in French-speaking Africa over the course of the next 5 years and we look forward to partnering with them to make this goal a reality. The first countries that will be benefiting include Madagascar, Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal and Morroco!
