Project presentation

This project enabled two women’s groups in Burkina Faso to launch new agricultural activities. Through a partnership with CAGEF, a Burkinabe agricultural advisory organization, the women received training in sheep and goat fattening techniques, poultry farming, and shea butter soap production.

They also benefited from a working capital fund to start their activities and received ongoing support from CAGEF advisors to help implement and develop their projects.
