Project Description Region: Africa Country: Tunisia Location: Kasserine Total Budget: $32,000 Area of Focus: Economic and community development This project aims to support economic development in rural areas in the South West of Tunisia. It concerns the region of Selta in Kasserine home of the Tunisian democratic revolution in 2011 This town has 400 people, men are working in masonry away from home and women are abandoned alone with children living from goats and sheep breeding. These young women are educated, dynamic and have only a dream: a job as you can see in the attached video. Our project aims initially to provide employment to 15% of women in this region by creating a weaving workshop of traditional and decorative Tunisian's carpets The carpets will be sold in Tunisian cities and incomes will self-finance the project and duplicate it in other parts of the Tunisia disadvantaged regions As a Tunisian Rotary club, we have an obligation to participate in the economic development of our regions, especially as our club has the necessary skills for all plans to meet this challenge. In addition, we have a sponsor and partner of size for this action which is the Tunisian AfreeCan association which has over 500 volunteers who are dedicated to social actions: https://www.afreecan.info/ Please see here the video we made during the visit of these women: https://youtu.be/obxZJ-UXfrM Thank you for your support Primary Host Partner District: 9010 Rotary Club of: Tunis Golfe New Generation Primary Contact: Leith KALLEL Email: leithkallel@gmail.com Primary International Partner We are looking for a Club partner.

This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
