Groupe Artisanal Féminin Francophone de l’Ontario
Scarborough, ON
The Organization
The mission of GAFFO is to develop, promote and share the African arts and culture in the diaspora in North America. The mission of the Groupe Artisanal Féminin Francophone of Ontario is to discover and channel the various artistic and professional talents of immigrant girls, women and older French women to guide them in their settlement process and to facilitate their social integration in Ontario. Our mission is also to encourage women’s crafts to take off again in society. We hope to help immigrant women find jobs in their field of interest. We organize workshops and activities in the community to empower and encourage women in general.
The Project
The aim of our project is to create an African Cultural Centre within the Greater Toronto area as well as opening an housing program .
