Canary Islands Project Helps Mauritanian Women Gain Fashion Skills
A fashion show in Nouakchott marked the first phase of a Canary Islands Government initiative to create employment opportunities for Mauritanian women through fashion skills training, featuring ten local brands and 40 participants.
Ten Mauritanian brands and 40 women recently took part in a fashion show held at the Spanish Embassy in Nouakchott. The event was part of the first phase of an employment generation project promoted by the Canary Islands Government.
The initiative aims to equip Mauritanian women with fashion-related skills to support their professional development. By partnering with local brands, the project seeks to open new income opportunities and strengthen the regional fashion sector.
The fashion show served as a platform for participants to showcase their work and demonstrate the progress of the initial training phase. Further phases of the project are expected to build on this foundation, though specific next steps have not been detailed.
