Saturday January 4, Zaya Toumbou, Miss Mayotte 2025, caused a sensation at the Christmas village set up at Place du Marché. The young woman came with touching words to plead the cause of her native archipelago. “Too bad it took a hurricane for us to be interested in Mayotte,” said the young woman, a communications student in Toulouse. His arrival above all made it possible to launch a citizen initiative linked to the disaster that occurred in the Indian Ocean on December 14: a collection called “Emergency Mayotte”, and which results in the installation of piggy banks in the businesses of the Naborian city. Everyone can give what they want, and the operation takes place until the end of the month.

“Sowing seeds of hope”
Jean-Luc Hilpert, president of Secours populaire de Moselle, specifies that solidarity was put in place the day after the cyclone. “If Secours populaire calls for generosity, it also encourages mobilization… At least 100,000 people are today without shelter or water in Mayotte, the poorest of the French departments, cut off from the world due to electricity and telephone networks devastated.”
Hence the interest in launching a joint action with the association of traders and artisans of Saint-Avold (Acasa). “Rebuilding buildings like souls, sowing seeds of hope, bringing concrete solidarity, imbued with humanist values”, such is the message carried by Jean-Luc Hilpert, who like Acasa president Vincent Soloviof, hopes that the final check is important.
