Learn, practise and share.

Sewing is one of the centre’s activities, alongside soap-making, incense-making and food preservation workshops. Training combines practical skills and collective work to open up self-employment opportunities.

Mills: less work, more possibilities.

Grinding grain by hand takes time and physical effort. The community mills initiative responds to this need expressed by women: making it easier to process rice and other grains and developing economic opportunities around this service.

The project explores equipment for processing seeds into oil.

Sunflowers: from farming to new opportunities.

The sunflower initiative connects agriculture with economic autonomy. It combines cultivation, training and use of the harvest, and explores processing seeds into oil and other products with added value.
