Touba Kolong Women's Market

Project 2014-2015. Touba Kolong Women's Market

This 2014-2015 academic year, Mirada Oberta begins a new adventure. This time in Touba Kolong, a small village located north of the Gambia River, which after 7 years of struggling to move forward the 6 hectares of land cultivated by effort, have finally managed to be virtually 100% sustainable.

This has been the result of the joint work between the town itself and UNO + , which together with Som un Bloc have carried out this laborious project. Thus, taking advantage of the fact that women enjoy this garden, we have set out to collaborate with the Dutch NGO Future4All, which is developing market-building tasks that will allow women to market their products directly. From Mirada Oberta we have joined this initiative by collaborating in the design of the carts that will help move the harvest on the road.

The market, a great benefit for the women of Touba Kolong.
