With the support of our two partner NGOs ASISPEV(asispev.com<\/a>) and SIDIO GROUP(sidio-group.com<\/a>), we found an old warehouse in Diourbel. It is perfect for our plan to set up our own production facility for textiles in close cooperation with the Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). In addition to a room of around 800 square meters, there are several smaller rooms and a garden with a fountain. Almost 60 sewing machines from the Tekin company are already on their way by sea from Hamburg to Dakar, so if everything works out, we can start at the beginning of May. On Google Maps you can see what the building looked like in March 2022: https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Szwxa8y9vk2jBrtX7<\/a> <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/theprojectjustine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/894-23-271-\u00a9AttilaHenning-Rahma-Confection-Street.webp” title_text=”894-23-271 \u00a9AttilaHenning Rahma Confection Street” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” height=”588px” height_tablet=”588px” height_phone=”588px” height_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The former commercial street of Diourbel runs past the studio, where stores, restaurants and bars are slowly starting to pop up again. <\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Meanwhile, we are training the trainers from Senegal in Benin. Over several weeks, they not only get to know our curriculum, but also go through the production steps of various garments with our team. How do you cut the leg of a pair of trousers, how do you neaten the collar of a blouse, how do you sew the button placket of a jacket?<\/p>\n At the beginning, we weren’t sure whether Beninese and Senegalese would ever get on as a team. Uncertainty and skepticism were clearly noticeable on both sides. But from day five, the ice began to break.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_post_nav prev_text=”previous post” next_text=”next post” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#000000″ background_color=”#CFCEBB” custom_padding=”10px|20px|10px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” title_text_color__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” background__hover_enabled=”on|hover” background_color__hover=”#FFDC8D” background_enable_color__hover=”on”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the support of our two partner NGOs ASISPEV(asispev.com) and SIDIO GROUP(sidio-group.com), we found an old warehouse in Diourbel.
