The girls of ELLES & NOUS, the women of SARA SAVON, mentors and partners tell, in their own words, what the Foundation has changed. Each testimony is collected with consent.
« At first I was her mentor in the programme. Today, Thalia is like my daughter. I support her beyond the sessions: English lessons, access to resources. What moves me is this passing of the torch between us, women and girls: we inspire one another. »
Madeleine HOZA
Mentor (filleule : Thalia)
« Sandra wants to become an architect and I work in real estate. I don't just see a promising student: I see a future colleague. I will keep guiding her in her passion so she can grow. »

Secrétaire général, CIONGCA — partenaire institutionnel
« Before, I didn't know how to make soap. I was trained, then I trained other women in my village. Seeing what my hands produce, and being able to sell it, changes the way I see myself. »

« What changed for me is the savings. At the end of each month, we contribute together. The first time I could borrow from the fund to buy palm oil, I understood I was no longer alone. »
