First Lady Dominique Ouattara offered on Saturday, July 20th, 2013 at her office in Cocody, foodstuffs and non-food items, to the Muslims of Côte d'Ivoire.

These Islamic institutions received 835 bags of rice, 1,000 sugar bags, 1,000 pasta boxes, 200 cartons of unsweetened condensed milk and 1,000 prayer mats.

Nadine Sangaré, Mrs. Dominique Ouattara’s representative, also Director of humanitarian actions, gave the reasons underlying the solidarity of the First Lady. "(…) Our meeting today was inspired by your sister, our sister, First Lady Mrs. Dominique Ouattara. How could she spend a month of solidarity as strong as that of Ramadan without letting her big heart talk, this at open and generous heart? With humility, she supports your efforts in the constancy and faith to properly complete the Ramadan ", Nadine Sangaré told the Muslims.
