IN SHORT

Fatoumata Baldé Yansané began her education in Boké and Dinguiraye and graduated from the Sorbonne 20 years later. She can express herself in all the local languages while always speaking from her heart. After being pampered by loving parents as a child, she realised as an adult how vulnerable and precarious the condition of women is in her country. She then mobilised her talent and success to create the NGO COFEL and empower females.
