WOMEN LEAD
Women Lead of the Burkinabe Diaspora of Toronto is a new initiative launched this year by the new executive board to address the needs of women and girls in their community. As the COVID pandemic has impacted these women in different areas, giving them a framework that allows them to express themselves, to facilitate their integration but also to find solutions to their multiple challenges, is the main reason for the creation of this program.
The project was officially launched on Friday January 12, 2023.
