Launch of a permanent showroom in Saida to support small business holders

The Saida Commercial Bazaar was launched earlier this week as a permanent nonprofit showroom to benefit small business holders of the city.  This individual initiative was launched in collaboration with several civil society organizations and is located at the Northern entrance of the city.  The new market includes some 300 shops which were opened with local private business investments to allow them to promote the selling of traditional foods, handicrafts, cafes, restaurant services, etc.., with the aim of supporting small business holders and developing the skills and initiatives of young women and men.
Within this framework, the initiative Say no to Violence organized last Wednesday in collaboration with “The Right to Play” Association, and “Hurricane Association” an open development day which included the running of a number of activities such as training small business holders in how to market their products and moving from homemade goods to more professional productions as well as building young people capacities.
