On Tuesday 13 January 2026, SOS Villages d’Enfants Monde announced that its long-standing partner, CASINO 2000, organised a Musical Charity Gala, raising €7,765 in support of projects run by the non-profit organisation in Guinea.
Held on 9 November 2025 at CASINO 2000’s premises in Mondorf-les-Bains, the gala was organised for the benefit of SOS Villages d’Enfants Monde and its partners on the ground in Guinea.
The programme included a “colourful and highly emotional” performance, bringing together many artists on stage, including the Grand Chamber Orchestra of Münster, soloists Heike Müller-Ring and Csaba Fazekas, twelve dancers and 20 choir singers. They performed excerpts from famous works such as Dracula, Rebecca and The Phantom of the Opera.
Following the event, the management and team of CASINO 2000, including Lydia Biringer-Schmitt, Director of Finance and Human Resources, Joffrey Martin, Marketing Director, and Marine Weber, Marketing Assistant, invited Sophie Glesener, Director of SOS Villages d’Enfants Monde, and Anne Schweizer, Head of Partnerships, to receive a cheque during the traditional New Year’s greetings.
Representatives of SOS Villages d’Enfants Monde thanked CASINO 2000 for “its loyal and valuable commitment, its consistently renewed generosity and the strong partnership in support of children’s causes, which has continued to grow and diversify for more than fifteen years”.
The funds raised during the evening will go to projects managed in Guinea by the local SOS association, which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. They will support, in particular, four development programmes focused on children’s and young people’s rights and their employability.
These programmes are implemented in 53 neighbourhoods and villages across nine municipalities in Conakry, Kankan, Labé and N’Zérékoré. SOS Villages d’Enfants Monde reported that a total of 835 families, 3,500 children and 250 young people supported on their path to employment, as well as numerous community structures linked to child protection, were directly concerned.
