THE KORA PROJECTS

“ Kora tailoring fusion ”

KORA was born from the belief that solidarity and constructive interaction between people from diverse backgrounds are essential for a better future. Craftsmanship offers a unique opportunity to integrate people into professional and social pathways that contribute to collective growth

Artisanal Project in Rome

Since 2019, Kora has contributed to training programs in tailoring for women, young asylum seekers, and local residents in collaboration with the Comboni Fathers Association, ACSE, and various social promotion associations. Through the art of craftsmanship, Kora promotes social inclusion and integration across different groups and generations.

Wadajir Artisanal Project in Somalia

IThe Wadajir Project supports over 300 women in Abudwak, central Somalia, through a social cooperative of internally displaced women (IDPs), many of whom are single mothers with children. This cooperative, known as the Wadajir Women and Youth Social Cooperative, was established following two previous initiatives promoted by the social organization Kora from Rome.

Caftis Textile Project in Togo

The central entity of the cooperative network is the Centre Artisanal de Formation en Tissage (CAFTIS), located in Dapaong, the capital of the Savanes Region in Togo. The CAFTIS network includes over 1,000 artisan weavers, with more than 80% of them being women.

NANAIPO Cooperative Project in Togo

The production of shea butter offers employment opportunities to 60 women and young workers of the NANAIPO Cooperative (which brings together all the shea butter producers from the savannah regions in Togo), providing them with dignified work and the hope of a better future. Italian initiatives, such as the “Le BCC con il Togo” project, are a cornerstone of Italian cooperation in Africa

Pilot Project Shabeel

Pilot project Financial Inclusion with a Prevalent Mutuality Approach, is a financial inclusion initiative targeting women and youth living in the slums of Abudwak, Somalia.

Approximately 3,000 people live in these slums. According to the mayor of the city, two out of three women are unemployed, and 80% of youth under 25 years old are without work.
