Cote d’Ivoire – The Redemptorists have been working in Cote d’Ivoire since 1993 and have established two mission stations, one in Tiebissou, a rural area and the other in Bouake, in a poor neighbourhood on the urban periphery.
The focus in both missions is to identify and encounter the most abandoned poor. A large part of our missionary activity is dedicated to the human development of a population impoverished by long years of war and affected negatively by social and political insecurity. Thus we organise and administer a welcome centre for students, a clinic, farming and livestock-raising enterprises and the granting of small loans to help the poor acquire economic self-sufficiency.
We make a special effort in forming and giving responsibility to laity as catechists, community leaders and agents of evangelisation.
