For Europe Day and in the framework of the  2010 European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion, the Delegation of the European Commission in Eritrea has carried out a symbolic action with the National Union of Eritrean Women (NUEW) under the title: "Operation - Donkey".

The aim of the initiative is to empower poor women in rural areas and improve their living standards by providing donkeys to fetch water and engage in income generating activities.

Congratulations to our colleagues far from the EU who are able to join their efforts to ours!
