History of the project:
This project is situated in Tcholliré, Northern Cameroon, near the frontier with Chad. The project saw the light thanks to the initiative of 15 women from the village, members of the St. Eugene Parish of Mazenod in Tcholliré, Diocese of Garoua. These women met to discuss about their living conditions and how to improve them. That is why they decided to build a maize mill (staple diet of families).
Some women involved in the project had already been responsible for activities in the parish and the village. The Daughters of Charity teach them the elementary knowledge of management and accountancy they need to manage the mill.
