Louise Lagni - Dotan, Benin
From shyness to leadership: Louise promotes the interests of het fellow-villagers
“Before I had attended the [Vision, Commitment, Action] workshops at Zakpota Epicenter, my contributions to discussions in the village weren’t heard. Now I know much better how to articulate my opinion. Since attending these workshops I have become much more self-confident, and I am consulted more and more often when decisions are being made in my community. And, at the request of the women from my village, I have become the leader of the women’s credit group. Together we have taken out a loan at the Credit Bank, which we divide among us [to finance our income generating activities]. I also give the women advice about their businesses.”
