Flame of Love Orphanage
with Bernadette Ehouinsou
Benin
In 2008, Bernadette Ehouinsou named her orphanage Flamme d'Amour. We didn't know this until recently, when we got to know her son, Father Gilles Hervé VISSOUKPO, who was ordained a priest in 2012. Stéphanie Dessaint, who coordinates the prayer group in France, had asked Father Gilles to take care of the Flame of Love Movement in France and he accept.
Here's a brief history of the Flamme d'Amour's orphanage mission in Benin.
In the Republic of Benin, as in most sub-Saharan African countries, there is the phenomenon of "street children". These children come from extremely poor families who abandon them at an early age for lack of financial means. In villages and hamlets, some women give birth at home, as they don't have the money to pay for a health center or maternity ward. Still others give birth in maternity wards and abandon their babies at night, either because they are unable to pay the maternity fees or simply because they feel abandoned by those responsible for their pregnancies and fear being left alone to look after their babies.In the Republic of Benin, as in most sub-Saharan African countries, there is the phenomenon of "street children".
