By Aymar Kevin Taou, Wednesday 27th July 2022

The Ganhia village will have a new mother and baby unit. As agreed by Kmoode, the laying of the first stone of this health infrastructure took place on Wednesday, July 27, 2022.

The ceremony was in the presence of the Commander Assouman Kouassi Alexis, the Sub-prefect of Doké, religious guides, the general doctor and the central chief of the village, the honorable Gueï Jacques, and his notability, as well as several other illustrious guests.

This initiative is the will of Kmoodee, which for years has continued to contribute its own building blocks with regard to health, education, the empowerment of women and entrepreneurship, through social actions and training. This has all been done to improve the living conditions of the population of the Cavally region and especially those of Ganhia in the Blolequin department.

For the President of this organisation, Mrs. Danielle Gnonssoa, these measures aim to restore the health system and facilitate access for the population to the regional and local health service.

During this ceremony, the Village Chief expressed his gratitude to the President of this emblematic organisation, Mrs. Danielle Gnonssoa, for her contribution to the local development process and attributed blessings and prayers to her.

Also, the sub-prefect of Doké expressed his gratitude to the President by welcoming her determination, her self-sacrifice and her contribution to the development of her region in general and her constituency in particular.

The first pickaxe was given to Commander Assouman Kouassi Alexis, Sub-prefect of Doké, followed by the Representative of Kmoodee, Mr. Teddy Gnonssoa, then to the Chief of the Village Gueï Jacques and others.
