Paula Ferro the founder of YAO CROCHET
Niassa is one of the most isolated provinces in Mozambique. Inhabitants of the Reserve are cut off from everything but the most basic subsistence economies, faced with few employment prospects,substantial social disadvantages, poor education, and limited access to healthcare. In addition to these issues, living within a conservation area, presents a constant challenge of human wildlife conflict, aswell as living under restrictions and requirements that are not applicable to outside of the Reserve.
The goal of YAO Crochet Project, through making and selling crochet toys and designed crafts,to create employment and develop skills for women and girls living inside the Reserve. By giving them the tools to earn an income, they can become economically self-sufficient and improve quality of life for the communities within Niassa Reserve. Building capacity and access to legitimate livelihoods provides economic alternatives to the unsustainable illegal activities, such as poaching and illegal mining.
They also hope to Link Conservation and Art: using the training sessions as a platform to teach conservation and biology to the knitters, to improve their knowledge about their environment and the importance of living sustainably within Niassa Reserve.
