The "Case des enfants" is the place that hosted the ceremony of remittal of medicine and drugs to help the thousands of victims of toxic waste, which were dumped in Abidjan in late August.  
These pharmaceutical products, worth 7.5 million francs CFA, have been received by the representative of the Ivorian cabinet of Health, Mr. Jacques Cissoko alongside Mrs. Kablan Rachel. 29 boxes of medicines, including antibiotics, paracetamol, and analgesics, were offered by the Foundation to help 13,000 people affected by the adverse effects of these wastes.
