Oyster festival in Essaout

WeForest and its implementation partner Eclosio supported the village of Essaout in organising its oyster festival, which celebrates the oyster production afforded by the mangroves and brings together collectors and buyers, as well as being a chance to enjoy some traditional Diola dancing. These women are taking part in the competition for the most beautiful fresh oysters! As part of the festival's opening proceedings, our team members presented the income-generating schemes that will support sustainable livelihoods activities, including oyster production and also beekeeping.
