In this covid19 time, how 630 disadvantaged girls and women can be helped in Dogbo Benin (Africa)? This project will contribute to improve their working conditions. It will enable them to avoid hunger, unemployment, emigration, poverty, for they will have a centre where they will be organized and trained to know how to well produce, process, preserve, store or sell their agricultural products. They will be taught literacy and will be empowered so as to overcome their ancestral misery.
With their village remoteness, 630 rural women in Kpodaha are often marginalized despite the authorities' efforts to help them. They are hard-working but very poor, illiterate and unorganized, and their way of working is not profitable to them. Often, their husbands migrate and leave them children. Life is difficult for them and does not allow them to prepare the future of their children. They do not have the means to improve the way they work. Thus the community is subjected to eternal poverty.
Through this project, disadvantaged women and girls will have a work center built and equipped to work together and to learn how to do better. They will be provided with working and packing equipment for "gari" (casava flour), literacy and other means. They will be self-sufficient and take care of their children's development. Their emancipation will considerably reduce endemic poverty in this countryside.
This project will make it possible to build a training and work centre that will pool the know-how of women and girls. They will be trained, taught, emancipated and empowered, and they will support their kids education at school. In turn, these children once become parents will well educate their offsprings. In addition, they will be able to find opportunities that will help them to live better, and so on.
