“Fatshimetrie: an innovative project for the empowerment of Congolese women”
At the heart of recent news, an innovative project called “Fatshimetrie” was unveiled during a meeting between Prime Minister Judith Suminwa and the Congolese diaspora in Belgium. Led by the non-profit organization Action pour le développement durable (APLDD), this project aims to revolutionize the socio-economic landscape of women working in makeshift restaurants, commonly called Malewa, in Congo.
By focusing on strengthening female leadership and the empowerment of Congolese women, “Fatshimetrie” positions itself as a real catalyst for change. Neneth Masangi, Managing Director of APLDD, stressed the importance of supporting these women entrepreneurs in their professional and personal development.
Through initiatives aimed at improving working conditions, promoting access to training and encouraging female entrepreneurship, this ambitious project opens up new perspectives for these often marginalized women. By promoting their know-how and supporting them in structuring their activities, “Fatshimetrie” contributes to creating an environment conducive to their development and success.
Through this inclusive and participatory approach, “Fatshimetrie” embodies the hope of a better future for many Congolese women, by offering them development opportunities and encouraging them to take responsibility. By supporting the emergence of a supportive and dynamic network, this project is part of a long-term vision aimed at positively transforming Congolese society.
Ultimately, “Fatshimetrie” represents an exemplary initiative that illustrates Congo’s ability to innovate and promote gender equality. By investing in the potential of women entrepreneurs, this project paves the way for a profound social transformation, based on the valorization of skills and the promotion of women’s autonomy in the economic sector. Because it is by supporting and encouraging these women to flourish professionally that Congo will be able to truly prosper and shine on a national and international scale.
