As part of the initiatives organized by the ECOWAS Representation in Cabo Verde to mark the celebrations of African Women’s Day, solidarity and outreach activities were carried out on 7 August 2026 with women in vulnerable situations at the Women’s Wing of Praia Central Prison and the Fazenda Mãe Esperança Shelter Centre.
As part of these two initiatives, the ECOWAS Representation in Cabo Verde mobilized a total donation of approximately USD 2,200, intended for the purchase of food supplies and hygiene products for the two beneficiary institutions. The contribution was distributed between the Women’s Wing of Praia Central Prison and the Fazenda Mãe Esperança Shelter Centre, representing a concrete gesture of solidarity and support for women facing greater vulnerability.
