THE WOMEN OF TROGUI

In May 2022, I travelled to Côte d’Ivoire on assignment, capturing these images on a 50mm Nikon film camera. Working alongside an incredible team, we documented the work of a sustainability foundation across remote communities.
In the Man region, we visited the women of the OUADO cooperative in Trogui—cocoa and coffee farmers who have built a cassava business through their Village Savings and Loans Association. Their VSLA enabled them to buy a four-hectare farm and begin producing Attiéke, a traditional Ivorian dish, creating a new income stream and greater financial independence.
