The women of the Neréwalo cooperative working in their vegetable garden, a project that was fenced and irrigated with the help of the ACORD non governmental organization. The fruits and vegetables grown in the garden help improve the nutritional level of the village and are sold in local markets. The revenue generated by the garden's produce permit the women of the cooperative to be more independent and to have a greater say in the affairs of the community..Neréwalo, Mauritania. 11/03/2011..Photo © J.B.
