This is the Women Agripreneures project, a project set up by the Les Jardins de l'Espoir association which has been promoting agroecology on several sites in southern Benin for four years.

There are four phases, funded by the American organization IREX: fifteen days of introduction to agroecology, internship on a farm for three months, training in entrepreneurship and monitoring of each participant.

The objective is that they become financially autonomous with a profitable and ecological agricultural activity.
