2. Meet Aminta Fomba, 53, wife of Dramane Traore, 62, and mother of nine children, ages 34 to 7-years-old.
As a woman, what have you learned about your role in the community over the past six months?
“We learned that it is important to give equal chance to both girls and boys. Even we, women, were contributing to marginalizing girls by overloading them with household chores. We had a couple of meetings about our role in the new ECD [Early Education Centre] center coming; we want to make sure more girls will benefit from it.”
What changes have occurred in your community since Plan began working there?
“Now we can discuss at the same place with men. Plan is encouraging men and women to discuss development issues, which I appreciate. I hope this will continue.”
What is Plan teaching the people living in your community?
“We learned that preschool education will teach young children hygiene and sanitation. This will be helpful to us as mothers.
