Title: Burkina Faso - Rural Microenterprise Support Project - March 2007
Description: Denise Guingane Zigani (37) dries vegetables in Garango, Burkina Faso.

Supported by IFAD, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, PAMER (Projet d’Appui aux Micro Entreprises Rurales) provides farmers with training and support to develop micro-enterprises in rural areas of Burkina Faso.

Denise Guingane Zigani dries vegetables using dryers that utilize the sun's heat to quickly and cleanly dry materials placed inside them. The climate prevents farmers from growing vegetables all year round. Drying the vegetables not only preserves them but keeps them available throughout the year.

"All the burden of the family is on the women and this business helps us to meet our responsibilities. By comparison we are much better off than before. We know we are on the road to a better life.”
