Amazing Women honored in Bagoué,Côte d’Ivoire!

Bagoué,Côte d’Ivoire – August 10,2025 – Imagine a day dedicated to celebrating all the unbelievable things women do! That’s exactly what happened in the Bagoué region of Côte d’Ivoire with the second annual Women’s Excellence Day. It was a super colorful and happy event!

Who Made it Happen?

The festivity was organized by a group called FEGAF (Federation of Women’s Groups and Associations of Bagoué) – that’s a big group of over 50,000 women working together! The leader of FEGAF, Salimata Dembélé-Diarra, did an amazing job, and they were supported by Bruno Nabagné Koné, a government leader who wants to help the whole region grow.

Celebrating Everyday heroes

The day wasn’t just about fun; it was about saying “thank you” to women who are making a difference. Women were given awards for being awesome at things like growing food (agriculture), styling hair, and sewing beautiful clothes.These women are critically important to thier communities, and it was great to recognize their hard work!

Helping the Community

FEGAF also did something really generous! They donated 10 hospital beds and two special machines called dialysis machines to the local hospital. This cost 49 million CFA francs (that’s a lot of money!) and will help people in Bagoué get the medical care they need.

Investing in the Future

Minister Bruno Nabagné Koné said he was really proud of all the women in Bagoué. He reminded everyone that working together is the best way to make things better, just like the president of Côte d’Ivoire, Alassane Ouattara, is trying to do.

FEGAF has big plans for the future! They’re going to build a special center on 3.5 hectares of land (that’s like several soccer fields!) with a warehouse to store things, classrooms for learning new skills, offices, a shop, and places to make and package products. This will help even more women start and grow their own businesses.

“When we help women, we’re helping the future!” said Salimata Dembélé-Diarra. She believes that when women are strong and independent, the whole community benefits.

Helping Young Entrepreneurs

There’s also a special fund called the Bruno Nabagné Koné Fund (BNK Fund) that gives loans to young people starting businesses. Some of the people who paid back those loans were celebrated at the event! This fund helps people in rural areas – places where it can be hard to get money to start a business – to make their dreams come true.

A Day of Pride and Hope

The Women’s Excellence Day was a chance for women to show off their amazing work, from fresh fruits and vegetables to beautiful handmade crafts. Everyone felt proud of what they’ve achieved and excited about what’s to come.

People in the community said this event is a great example for othre regions in Côte d’Ivoire. They hope that with continued support, the women of Bagoué will continue to be leaders in building a stronger and more prosperous future for everyone!

simplified Language: Removed complex phrasing and used more everyday words.
