For Giving Tuesday, support Chantale !

Senegal

In 1984, Chantale Arame Tine moved to a village in Tambacounda, in the south of Senegal. She was driven by the hope of a stable and prosperous life. At the time, rain fell regularly for six months of the year, naturally irrigating her banana plantations. But 40 years on, what seemed immutable has changed profoundly.

The rainy season has become unpredictable. They now last only three months, and the droughts are getting longer. Chantale must irrigate her crops in mid-August, a month once known for its abundant rainfall. This climatic upheaval is forcing her to go to great lengths to preserve her crops and feed her family.

Like Chantale, many women in the village are persevering in the face of these growing challenges. Their courage and determination deserve our full support.   

That's why CECI, in partnership with SOCODEVI and Senegalese organisations, has launched the Femmes et agriculture résilientes project. The aim is to improve the well-being and resilience of farming households through innovative production methods adapted to climate change.   

In this season of Giving Tuesday, the world's largest movement for generosity, support Chantale and so many other women by contributing to our annual campaign. You'll be turning their resilience into lasting solutions. 

Thank you for your solidarity.  

Resilient women and agriculture project is implemented by CECI, SOCODEVI and their partners in Senegal. It is made possible thanks to funding from the Canadian government through Global Affairs Canada and the contribution of our donors.
