The "Les Femmes d'Abord" project was launched on September 26, 2026, at the Ngarta Tombalbaye Palace of Arts and Culture in Sarh, Chad. The initiative is led by the "Les Leaders de Sarh" community, with support from several partners. The launch event was attended by Kidana Tamoula, Delegate for Women and Early Childhood in Moyen-Chari, and Noudjal Evelyne Taday, project coordinator. The project seeks to address challenges that hinder girls' ability to pursue their education.
The project's primary objective is to provide support to girls from primary school to high school, enabling them to continue their education while fostering community solidarity. In its first phase, 38 girls will benefit from accompaniment and support. According to Noudjal Evelyne Taday, the success of girls in school depends not only on their individual will but also on a favorable family and social environment. The project encourages community participation in promoting girls' education.
Noudjal Evelyne Taday emphasized that every contribution, no matter how small, can make a difference in building a better future for girls and strengthening women's autonomy. The project also includes training on income-generating activities, money management, entrepreneurship, and small economic activity development. This comprehensive approach aims to empower girls with the skills and knowledge necessary for their future.
Kidana Tamoula, Delegate for Women and Early Childhood in Moyen-Chari, stressed the importance of community involvement in promoting girls' education.
