Training in confectionary, cooking & chocolate making for women

Professional training in confectionary, cooking and chocolate making for disadvantaged young women in Côte d’Ivoire

Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire

"After finishing my course at Yarani, I have started taking food orders and now I have started selling food products in front of my house. I am the only one selling food products in my area, including chocolate products! I am the only one making chocolate cakes. I can now support my 2 children and myself without depending solely on my husband. I am proud of having set up a business and I love making others happy and satisfied with what I cook. I make the food as if I would eat it myself, I put my heart into it. My sisters see how happy I am, and they want to get into the food business too. Another useful thing I learnt was about migration. I learned how we should pass through the embassies to migrate, and I have already advised several friends on this. To the people who gave me this scholarship, thank you so much and I wish that God returns to you all that you have given to us."
