Dental Cheèh Association

Dental Cheéh Association is a newly established women's organization for women living in 4 villages in the Niamina West, Central River Region (Choya, Medina Wollom, Sare Sambel and Sara Bakery). The association was registered on 18th Nov. 2021 and has 100 members. The registry knows Miamina West. The registry knows Ministered. Cheéh Association is conscious of the need to contribute individually and collectively to improving their quality of life and is aware of the need to establish a viable and developmenta-orientered group to promote greater involvement and participation af the members in the process for increased socio-economic development of the villages. The board consist of 12 members. The concrete goals as they appear in the articles of association are diverse, but the most appropriate are as follows: • Engage in domestic resources and external/donor fund mobilization for the development activities of the association. • Engage in agricultural activities for increased food-grain (crop) production to achieve food self-sufficiency. • Foster mutual understanding and cooperation among the women and youths in the villages • Encourage small-scale business development among members/youths for self-employment and as a reliable source of cash-income. After receiving capacity-building with financial support from the SuG project group and CISU for 2 years, we now find that the Dental Cheeh Association can be a partner for the Danish project group from SUG, which we know through the work they have supported in the area since 2019. Members from the board are helping in keeping the school classes running, registering attendance, calls and changes. The women now take responsibility for school cleaning, and they have recently started soap production for sale on the market.
