According to Burkina Information Agency, the regional coordinator of women in Nakamb e, Abibata K er e, indicated that this gesture reflects the commitment of women to contribute to the building of Burkina Faso. 'The women of Burkina Faso cannot remain idle without participating in nation-building. That is why we have mobilized this donation to support development initiatives,' she declared.
Ms. K er e stated that this action is part of a series of activities organized in the region as part of the March 8th commemoration.

Present at the reception ceremony, the governor of the Nakamb e region, Yiy e Abraham Somdo, praised the women's initiative which, according to him, marks an evolution in the way of celebrating International Women's Day.

According to the governor, this initiative demonstrates the commitment of women to the development of Burkina Faso and their willingness to contribute to the future of future generations.
