Women and Youth
IN BURKINA FASO, we have
delivered nationally acclaimed projects
aimed at empowering communities in
collaboration with Plateforme Nationale
du Commerce Equitable du Burkina Faso
(PNCE-B).
Between 2018 and 2021, PNCE-B
served as our key partner in
implementing our transformative ‘Bees
for Business’ project which empowered
125 women. This project not only
provided opportunities for economic
sustainability but also contributed to
environmental conservation through
sustainable beekeeping practices.
Building on this success, we
implemented the ‘Improving Livelihoods
through Agroprocessing’ project, which
supported shea nut collectors in the
region to increase their income levels by
learning how to produce butter and soap
from their crop.
Additionally, we launched the ‘Seed to
Stall’ projects empowering women to
cultivate organic vegetables for sale in
the local market and for consumption
at home. A solar-powered drip irrigation
system and new borehole also provided
a sustainable and reliable water source
for the women and the wider community.
