From Man to Saioua, NGO ABRIHANDICAP combines medical care and solidarity for the most vulnerable

In October 2026, French association ABRIHANDICAP held free consultations and screenings in Mahapleu, Zaguiné and Mangouin, near Man, benefiting about 1,200 people. The mission brought together 12 health professionals and around 20 volunteers, addressing conditions including vision problems, anemia, sickle cell disease, malaria, diabetes and hypertension; medicines, glasses and white canes were provided as needed. Authorized by Côte d’Ivoire’s Health Ministry and conducted with local health professionals, the operation also included public health awareness efforts. In Saioua, the association then spent three days with children and staff at the Canaan orphanage as part of its “Vis ma vie” initiative.
