The Economic Role of African Women

For the Harmonization of North-South Relationships

It has become of utmost urgency to enable African women to have access to the necessary tools that could help them create and manage local micro-economies, especially in the rural environment.

For generations, African women have demonstrated their ability to confront the harshest conditions with ingenuity and courage and therefore would be well up to the task of organizing, directing, and running cottage industries, small commercial enterprises, or mini-factories that would enlist human resources and contribute to the subsistence of local families.

Through the set-up of such work structures, the role of these women would be educative and life-affirming to migrating Africans who in their search for survival often only reach death at the doors of a European continent tackling its own problems and growing more insensitive to their plight.

Our Association has been actively committed to in-depth regional studies of feasibility and surveys in Congo, Mali, and Senegal. We need further help to bring to fruition our vital project and establish concrete solutions.
