Abdoulaye Tou ✝️

It is with great sorrow that we learned of the death of Mr. Abdoulaye Tou, CFO of HOPE’87-Burkina Faso.

Abdoulaye was a great colleague and more than that, a friend.
He was a friend to me from the beginning of our first project in Burkina Faso, almost three decades ago…

He was an extraordinary and conscientious accountant and financial manager, but he also always looked after me when we were on mission to the different project sites…

Abdoulaye was always gentle and kind, he had a big heart and a lot of patience, and yet he was determined and focused on the success of our projects…

It’s like losing a brother…

Our thoughts and prayers are with this great man, with our colleagues in Ouagadougou and with his family!

May God grant him the eternal rest he truly deserved on earth.

With deep sorrow, but convinced that Abdoulaye is now better off in another world that is still closed to us, and convinced that he will live on in our hearts,
