Algebra, chapter I, § 5. Groups operating on a set

Let G be a group, E a homogeneous G-set, a∈Ea \in E, H the stabilizer of a and K a subgroup of G contained in H. There exists one and only one G-morphism f of G/K into E such that f(e.K)=af(e.K) = a. If K = H, f is an isomorphism.

If f is a solution, then f(x.K)=x.af(x.K) = x.a for all x in G, whence the uniqueness; we show the existence. The orbital mapping defined by a is compatible with the equivalence relation y∈xKy \in xK on G. For, if y=xk,k∈Ky = xk, k \in K, then

y.a=xk.a=x.a. y.a = xk.a = x.a.
A mapping f is thus derived of G/K into H which satisfies f(x.K)=x.af(x.K) = x.a for all x in G. This mapping is a G-morphism and f(K)=af(K) = a. This mapping is surjective for its image is a non-empty stable subset of E. Suppose now that K = H and let us show that f is injective. If f(x.H)=f(y.H)f(x.H) = f(y.H), then x.a=y.ax.a = y.a, whence x−1y.a=ax^{-1}y.a = a and x−1y∈Hx^{-1}y \in H, whence x.H=y.Hx.H = y.H.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
