COUPE DE LA FRANCOPHONIE

The Francophonie  Cup kicked off a fundraising campaign for the FHLP and was opened by the representative of the Permanent Mission of Ivory Coast, current President of the Group of Francophone Ambassadors (GAF) to the United Nations in New York. Ivory Coast won the first edition after a friendly but intense competition we hope to repeat every year.

The Francophone Cup also benefited from the support of Cameroonian international footballer Samuel Eto’o, who delivered a video message and  invited all the participants to support our program.

We are so grateful for his involvement!
