The CSP has established a donkey and cart distribution project to reduce overwork for women in the rural area of Meki
We have recently started a new project in Ethiopia: the purchase and distribution of forty donkeys and carts for women who belong to the savings groups in the rural area of Meki. The project wants to facilitate and reduce overwork for these women, and at the same time be an income-generating activity.
Now it is the donkeys who carry market products, firewood and water in their carts, make travel in rural areas more bearable, and also generate income for their owners by carrying bags and people on market days in the Meki city (becoming a sort of a minibus). When the donkeys breed, the new calf will be assigned to another of the women, thus giving continuity to the project. The new group of forty women who in 2021 will receive new donkeys and carts has already been selected. We are very happy for all of them.
