On September 26, 2026, the NGO Amour-Vie-Solidarité (AVS-ONG) donated 10 bicycles to the Compassion de Zè orphanage in Benin. This act is part of AVS-ONG's social and humanitarian efforts to support vulnerable individuals. The donation aims to help the children at the orphanage commute to school, which is located kilometers away from their residence.

The bicycle donation follows a previous ceremony where AVS-ONG provided school kits to the orphanage. According to Eugénie Dossa, president of AVS-ONG, the organization is committed to solidarity, mutual aid, and supporting individuals and communities in need. She expressed gratitude to the orphanage's management and beneficiaries for their warm welcome.

The bicycles are expected to improve the daily lives of the children at the orphanage by facilitating their transportation to school. Coovi Robert Lokossou, director of the Compassion de Zè orphanage, thanked AVS-ONG for their generosity and emphasized that the donation represents more than just material support. It demonstrates the organization's willingness to be by the side of those who need support and accompaniment.

Lokossou hopes that this act of kindness will inspire other individuals and organizations to show generosity towards vulnerable persons. The bicycles will not only ease transportation but also convey a message of love, mutual aid, and hope to the beneficiaries. Dossa reiterated that even a simple donation can make a significant difference in someone's life and help restore their smile.

The Compassion de Zè orphanage faces challenges due to its remote location, making it difficult for the children to access education. AVS-ONG's donation is a step towards addressing these challenges. The organization has shown its commitment to supporting vulnerable groups through various social and humanitarian initiatives.

The event was well-received by the beneficiaries and the orphanage's management, who appreciated the efforts of AVS-ONG. The bicycle donation is a testament to the organization's dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of those in need. This act of kindness has strengthened the relationship between AVS-ONG and the Compassion de Zè orphanage.

AVS-ONG's president, Eugénie Dossa, reaffirmed her organization's willingness to continue supporting vulnerable individuals and communities. The donation of bicycles to the Compassion de Zè orphanage is a prime example of AVS-ONG's commitment to creating positive change in society. The organization aims to inspire others to join their cause and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
