Even as a young girl, she felt a responsibility toward her neighbors.

When he began a career abroad, through his work at Nestl\u00e9, her life changed dramatically. The young couple moved every few years for the company, specifically in Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Egypt. During these years their family grew and their three children, Selim, Sonia and Sarah, were born between 1979 and 1989. Eventually, the family relocated to Abidjan in the Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years after moving to Abidjan, Mrs. Lotti Latrous began caring for AIDS patients at the Mother Teresa Hospital. A doctor, who provided medical care to people directly in the slums of the city, soon took Mrs. Lotti Latrous with him on his rounds. This brought her face to face with the misery and suffering of the people there. She felt a great urge to help, and so Mrs. Lotti Latrous put her heart and soul into advocating for HIV infected people as well as the dying, and to care for them with dignity. In Adjouffou, one of Abidjan&#8217;s slums, Mrs. Latrous opened the Centre L&#8217;Espoir (Center of Hope) in 1999, a center for outpatient treatment. It was later followed by a hospice for the dying and a children&#8217;s home for AIDS orphans.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"theme-block-expander-block_627d05cad6889\" class=\"theme-block-expander\"><div class=\"theme-block-expander__inner-container\">\n\n<p>When her husband was transferred back to Egypt after a short time, the mother of three decided to stay in Abidjan to continue caring for the needy and sick people in the slums. Her willingness to help went so far that she lived apart from her family for months. The family overcame this great challenge and also recognized the importance of Mrs. Lotti Latrous&#8217; commitment. Further her work had an impact on Mrs. Latrous&#8217; health. In 2013, the after-effects of a severe case of tuberculosis meant that Mrs. Lotti Latrous had to return to Switzerland for ten months to recover and recuperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outpatient clinic, hospice for the dying, and children&#8217;s home were moved to Grand-Bassam, Ivory Coast, in 2017. To this day, the Centre L&#8217;Espoir gives hope to the poorest. Countless people who were affected by malaria, tuberculosis and many other diseases besides AIDS have already had their lives saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the latest projects included the construction of a village for chronically ill and partially homeless seniors. This village is intended to bring people together from different generations. Younger people take care of the elderly and gain a profession, and the seniors are happy when they receive visits by the children of the children&#8217;s home.<\/p>\n\n<script>\n(function($){\n    var block = $('#theme-block-expander-block_627d05cad6889 > .theme-block-expander__inner-container');\n    block.children().hide();\n    var ne = $('<a href=\"#theme-block-expander-block_627d05cad6889\">Read more  \u27f6<\/a>').on('click',function (event) {\n        $(this).parent().hide().siblings(':not(script)').slideDown();\n        event.stopImmediatePropagation();\n        event.preventDefault();\n    });\n    ne.prependTo(block).wrap('<p><\/p>');\n})(jQuery);\n<\/script><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-scheme-inverted\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pahlpeaceprize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bericht_Schweizer_Familie_2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <span class=\"has-inline-color has-beige-lighter-color\"><strong>Artikel &#8220;MERCI, MADAME LOTTI&#8221;<\/strong><br> <strong>C<\/strong><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><strong>opyright:<\/strong> Schweizer Familie 06.2022<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AWARD CEREMONY 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday, June 22, 2022, the Pahl Peace Prize was awarded to Mrs. Lotti Latrous of Swiss nationality.
