NIGER - Creation
This project, which will be carried out over five years, received the support of the municipality of Bonkoukou. The Masnat association requested Action Ethique Humanitaire to support it in carrying out the first phase of the project, namely launching the economic activity of the site through:
1. The creation and implementation of a market gardening production zone
2. The creation of a fruit and vegetable processing workshop
3. The layout of the Masnat offices
Our objective is twofold: to create long-term jobs for ten women in Bonkoukou and to promote market gardening in the region.
The financing request submitted to the Micro-Projects Agency was validated by the latter in January 2017.
In Bonkoukou, the premises are now ready to host the transformation workshop!
Of the hundred women who showed up at the collective information meeting, 12 were recruited for the positions to be filled, according to the criteria defined for the project. Those involved are very motivated, willing and impatient to start the activities! The others also feel concerned and involved and will mobilize to make this new business grow! In France, pot collection is well underway!
Your assistance!
To carry out this project, we needed your help! We were looking to bring together 21,000 glass pots and jars with lids of all capacities to set up the fruit and vegetable processing workshop.
