In Bamako, the capital of Mali, a center was opened with financial support from Gedeon Richter, which offers health and education aid and accommodation for endangered women. As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of medicinal products for women’s health, judges places great emphasis on promoting the health and quality of life of women in all countries in which the company works. Richter wants to help almost 300 women with the new center, which can accommodate dozens of underprivileged women from the region. This initiative is not just a one -time investment, because the pharmaceutical company has undertaken to support the operation of the House of House of Hope in the long term.
At the beginning of February 2024, the foundation stone for the Gedeon Richter Haus of Hope was laid in Bamako that women who flee violence should give hope for a more fulfilling life by offering them appropriate gynecological care and education. The center has been in operation since the beginning of 2025. In addition to medical and pedagogical support, Haus also offers psychological and legal help and offers job opportunities in the center.
The “Gedeon Richter House of Hope“was carried out by the close to Africa Foundation based in Hungary in cooperation with her local partner, the Sini Sanuman Foundation. Richter bore a significant part of the construction costs and will also support the company for at least the next four years. Part of the cost of the equipment was covered by the Hungary Helps Program, an initiative of the Hungarian government. The building for the African conditions ensured that the Hungarian NRO was also appropriately built by numerous private individuals and is still looking for donations to further expand the hope of hope.
„Richter, as a responsible European company with headquarters in Hungary, has long been looking for opportunities to support regions beyond our traditional markets, and this time focuses on developing countries. We will support women in Africa in need with the same commitment and the same passion as we have been doing in many of our markets for decades. Our company supports and organizes numerous health and education initiatives in harmony with our mission to promote health and to improve people’s quality of life. Initiatives for the health of women have always been a focus for us,”said Zsuzsa Beke, head of the PR and public affairs department at Gedeon Richter.
The President of the Close to Africa Foundation, Andrea Morrisadded: “We are Gedeon Richter and the Hungary Helps Program for their generous donations. In today’s difficult economic situation, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find donors, especially for such a unique project. I am confident that our local knowledge, our experience and commitment will help us to support around 300 women every year and give them a second chance. I really think we make a significant difference.“
