00:00 We are in the transformation of non-linear forest products.
00:03 What makes me proud is that the women we work with have been able to become more autonomous.
00:10 We have a lot of activities within this cooperative.
00:18 There is even the collection of charity fines, because there are collectors who collect charity fines.
00:24 There are certain criteria that we use before paying the charity fines.
00:28 But the first choice fines are used to pay for the charity butter that is intended for consumption.
00:35 And the second choice fines are made and transformed to produce soap and pomades.
00:41 The goal of creating this cooperative is to work in action synergy.
00:51 Being alone, you can't have certain opportunities.
00:55 When we are together, there is solidarity among the members.
00:58 We contract the charity fines and give them to each member who can lead these activities to generate income.
01:05 But if you are alone, you go to the financial institutions and you have to deposit guarantees.
01:10 However, in the cooperative, there is solidarity that allows us to contract the charity fines without guarantees.
01:24 The difficulty is that there is a lack of a fund for the payment of the charity fines.
01:29 We contract the charity fines, but it is not a large amount.
01:33 So we can't have the raw material at a reasonable price to be able to make a profit as we wish.
01:41 The cooperative is very good.
01:44 We have a lot of people.
01:47 We have a lot of people.
01:49 We have a lot of friends.
01:51 We have a lot of friends.
01:53 The cooperative has done a lot for women.
01:56 There were a lot of activities.
01:58 But since it was manual, it was difficult.
02:01 Because manual, they wouldn't dare make 10 dishes.
02:04 Whereas today, since it is modern, they can make 40 dishes a day.
02:10 So there is more income.
02:12 Before, we would sit down to contract the charity fines for a whole day.
02:16 To make the torrefaction, it took maybe four days to have the finished product.
02:21 But with the machine, in less than two days, you have a finished product.
02:26 It is the machine that replaces the manual.
02:29 It allows the woman to rest and to have a large quantity.
02:34 Because before, it was not possible for a woman to make 100 kilos in half a day.
02:39 And then you have the finished product.
02:41 Our goals are not 100%.
02:50 But we go back, thank God.
02:52 If we go back 10 or 15 years,
02:55 the way the members were,
02:57 I think there was a change, even at the social level,
03:00 at the economic level, and on all levels.
03:04 Some women were able to settle on their own.
03:08 So I think we have not reached 100% of what we want.
03:13 But at 90%, we are really satisfied with what we are today.
