A new women’s centre in Jendouba
Women unemployment
The Jendouba Governorate, in the North West of Tunisia, is one of the most marginalized areas of the Country, where women’s unemployment rate is one of the highest. This region is essentially based on agriculture and most women live in poverty and insecurity conditions.
The project
A multipurpose centre, a public and private space at the same time, a meeting place for women equipped with a library, a coffee bar, an internet room and a space for children. To ensure its self-management and self-financing, the Centre also offers new job opportunities for women through the construction of cooperatives and micro-enterprises: 20 micro-enterprises will benefit from a technical and economic coaching with management consultants.
