ATEG IS BUILDING A FUTURE FOR IDP WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN MALI.
Escalating violence in Northern and Central Mali caused by terrorist groups, have sparked a humanitarian crisis. Thousands of Internally Displaced Persons (IPD)s who were forced to flee came to Bamako in Southern Mali, where they are living in IDP camps and on the streets. ATEG has been focused on helping these IDP women and children. These people are living under the most deplorable living conditions. ATEG runs a number of programs to help improve their lives.
Women's Skills Training
ATEG runs a Women's Skills Training Program. The first group of women were given a 2-month course where they were trained to sew and have now graduated. They then completed 3-month internships at local sewing companies. They were then enrolled for 2-months of Business Management training. After completing these classes, they formed a Women's Cooperative. ATEG build a facility for them to work in and equipped it with sewing machines and supplies. They are now making products to sell at local markets and for export to U.S. markets. ATEG has also taught additional women the vocations of henna, soap-making, milk processing and hair braiding/plaiting
