Nathalie Bouna

Nathalie Bouna is a 36-year-old mother from Libreville, Gabon, who has been raising her 11 children alone since her partner left several months ago. Living in extreme poverty and facing challenges such as food insecurity and the lack of birth certificates for her children, she struggles to provide for her family and ensure their education. Her situation drew the attention of the Gabonese Minister of Social Affairs, Armande Longo, who visited her to provide immediate assistance and announced plans for social support initiatives to help vulnerable families like hers.
