It’s with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of one of our most remarkable and visionary entrepreneurs, Vinciane Kouyo. As a cherished member of the Orange Corners Côte d’Ivoire Agroinnovateurs Cohort 2 and the dedicated founder of NatuMiel, Vinciane was far more than a participant in our programme – she was an invaluable part of the Orange Corners family.
Vinciane was someone who uplifted those around her with her quiet resilience, heartfelt generosity and unwavering sense of purpose. Her commitment to empowering local beekeepers, celebrating indigenous honey and fostering a business that was both sustainable and deeply community-focused will continue to inspire us all. Her loss leaves a significant and heartfelt absence that will be felt for a long time to come.
Our sincerest sympathies go out to Vinciane’s family, friends and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her during this immensely difficult time.
May her gentle soul rest in eternal peace 🕊️
