Project Details
While walking through one of the many markets in Bamako, Executive Director Scott Lacy met several women who were selling soap. Upon hearing their story, Lacy gave the women a small enterprise grant to encourage their modest collective soap making operation. The women live and sell their soaps in Sikoroni, an impoverished section of Bamako (Mali's capital city) which is off the track of most tourists and passers by. African Sky invests in women's cooperatives because when we provide resources for women's groups those resources get passed on to their families and communities. While we provide significant support for rural women's organizations, our small donation to this Bamako women's group was simply a small gesture of appreciation for a group of women running a soap cooperative on their own. |
