Darfur Women at Community-Run SAFE Centre
Women in Sharga, North Darfur, prepare food at the village’s SAFE Centre during a visit from a delegation of European Union ambassadors.
SAFE is a locally-run community project promoted by the World Food Programme (WFP) in which participants produce fuel-efficient stoves for themselves and to sell at market. The stoves reduce the consumption of firewood by about 30% and, as a result, the number of times women must fetch wood. The centre also produces natural firebrick and plant seedlings, maintains an orchard of gum arabic trees, and organizes training for illiterate women.
