senegal: Women's income generation project in Senegal

Siwre Thiambe is one of 49 women's groups under the umbrella organisation PROFEMU, which was set up with Oxfam's support to help improve the lives of its 2,000 members in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, and in the nearby town of Thiès. PROFEMU's wide-ranging programme includes a loan scheme, which has enabled the women of the Siwre Thiambe group to borrow money and set up a tie-dyeing business.
