Mali - Gao - Support for women groups

The movements of the women look like a dance when they are separating the wheat from the chaff.

In a traditional oven, made from clay, the women bake bread for their families.  

Selected women's groups receive financial support, so that they can realize their entrepreneurial ideas.

Almadimatou Aguissa is holding one of about 2,000 goats, which were distributed among the poorest families. The aid recipients are single mothers who have lost their herds during the armed conflicts.
