Burkinabè musician Audrey Korsaga, known by her stage name "AUDREY", has made a significant donation to families of soldiers killed in action. On September 23, 2026, she visited the Agency for Support to Widows, Orphans, and Victims of War (ASVOVIG) in Ouagadougou. There, she donated food and school supplies to widows, orphans, and victims of war. This act of generosity aims to bring relief to families who have lost loved ones fighting against terrorist groups.

Audrey's donation includes 50 bags of rice, 12 cartons of oil, and 7 cartons of soap. Additionally, she provided school supplies, such as 200 notebooks, 300 pens, 432 pencils, and 15 school bags. These items will benefit families of soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Audrey's actions demonstrate her commitment to supporting those affected by the ongoing conflict.

The musician's charitable act is linked to her recent song release, "Héros de la Nation", a tribute to soldiers fighting on the front lines. Audrey stated that she wanted to go beyond a musical tribute and take concrete actions to support these families. Her goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of those who need it most, especially with the new school year approaching.

Audrey's initiative has been praised by the director-general adjoint of ASVOVIG, Pr Léopold Badolo. He expressed gratitude for her generosity and solidarity, highlighting the significant impact of her donation on the organization's beneficiaries. Badolo hopes that Audrey's example will inspire others to contribute to the well-being of widows, orphans, and victims of war.

Audrey has called on her fellow Burkinabè, particularly artists, to support ASVOVIG's mission. She believes that collective action can lead to greater positive change. The musician has shown that her commitment to her country goes beyond her music, demonstrating a genuine desire to make a difference in people's lives.

This charitable act is not Audrey's first demonstration of courage and resilience. Recently, she shared her personal struggle with breast cancer, offering hope and encouragement to many women. Her bravery and determination have earned her admiration and respect from her fans and the wider community.

The donation ceremony was attended by Audrey's family members and staff, who were present to support her in this philanthropic endeavor. As the Burkinabè music scene continues to evolve, Audrey's actions serve as a shining example of the positive impact that artists can have on their communities.
