Meet the "veuves circulaires" community

Published on 26 September 2024 at 10:47

Where ? Kangu -  Greater Tshela region (DRC)

What ? A cooperation of deprived 50 widows, doing good for future generations by: 

1.  Maintaining the forest and land in good shape 

2.  Revalorising tradition by organic handcraft, as a barrier to imported mass crap

3. Transmitting their expertise to student girls they foster

4. Making an additional living for themselves and the widow community 

Our role ? 

1. Revalorisation of circular economy : natural materials from the forest are upcycled

2. Support local social/ecological awareness in the village and surroundings : maintaining the forest and land in good shape, by cutting and evacuating dead leaves and branches. 

3. Set up pilot phase with 12 participants to a structural members cooperation : a training hub and extra income generator.
