UNHCR, 04/05/2016
OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso, May 4 (UNHCR) – Taking a sheaf of palm fronds in her hand, Tuareg artisan Bintou starts to weave a decorative mat to be fixed on a newly designed desk lamp that may one day light up homes in Europe and elsewhere. An accomplished leather worker back home in Mali, she is among some 20 refugees learning new skills at a residential workshop in neighbouring Burkina Faso that aims to help them develop their traditional products and market them abroad. "Now I have learned how I can transpose my know-how from leather to palm," she says with a smile. "I don't know yet what will be the final product, but at this stage I am happy to know how to work with a new material," she adds.
