According to the president of the Guembré/Sankara Habibata Association, this training was able to take place thanks to funding from the Cultural and Tourism Development Fund (FDCT) in partnership with Swiss cooperation. The moment is therefore well chosen for her to express her gratitude to all those who have contributed to the effectiveness of this activity.
“For three months we acquired knowledge and skills allowing us to produce quality loincloths and manage our businesses”.
But the main question remains our installation Declared the representative of the learners Firdawse Guembré who pleaded for their support in installation kits.
For the High Commissioner of Zondoma, this initiative is to be welcomed because it contributes not only to the empowerment of women but also to the promotion of Faso-danfani which, according to him, has become emblematic in our culture and also a source of income.
