Ashoka Fellow Antoine Sombié is the founder of Wouol:
...the first regional-scale, commercial hybrid value chain that joins European businesses with small local women’s vegetable and fruit producers from across West Africa. Antoine’s program has enabled women’s associations in Burkina Faso to be active producers of organically certified products for the first time. European certification secures a stable market with higher prices, and women’s participation and training brings the economic benefits to a greater portion of society, alleviating education and health. More than three thousand people—90% female—are part of the Association’s production, health insurance schemes, social and cultural activities.
