Empowering Vendors in Africa and the U.S.
Our Perimia Academy is a cornerstone of our empowerment efforts. This initiative offers comprehensive training programs for vendors, covering everything from digital marketing and e-commerce strategies to product photography and customer service. Our workshops are designed to equip vendors with the skills they need to effectively market and sell their products online. We’ve seen remarkable success stories, like those of Charles Tatum and Hamidou, who have transformed their businesses through our training.
Perimia Academy started in Burkina Faso, where we conducted on-the-ground workshops to teach local artisans how to sell their products online. The positive feedback and success of this initiative have inspired us to expand the program to other regions, including Washington State in the U.S., where we are now empowering African American creators with the same tools and knowledge.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Kaala, one of our esteemed vendors in Burkina Faso, is at the forefront of sustainable development through their innovative approach to wood recovery and processing. By carefully sourcing and cutting wood collected from the bush, Kaala transforms what might otherwise be discarded into valuable, exotic raw materials for professionals and artisans. This process not only provides high-quality resources but also embodies a commitment to sustainable practices.
Kaala’s work goes beyond simply harvesting wood. They are dedicated to the holistic utilization of each tree, ensuring that every part, from the roots to the canopy, is valued and used responsibly. Their approach reflects a deep respect for natural resources and an understanding of the need to balance economic activity with environmental stewardship.
A core aspect of Kaala’s mission is combating deforestation. By actively replanting rare and endangered tree species, Kaala contributes to the regeneration and sustainability of forest ecosystems. This reforestation effort is crucial in maintaining biodiversity and supporting the long-term health of the environment. Through their sustainable practices, Kaala ensures that the forests of Burkina Faso continue to flourish, fostering a future where development and environmental preservation go hand in hand.
