Djiguiyaso Cooperative
At the heart of Djiguiyaso, Aissata Namoko leads a remarkable cooperative based in Bamako, Mali, providing meaningful employment opportunities for over 100 talented women in the textile industry. Our journey is rooted in celebrating Mali's rich textile heritage and traditions, especially the art of Bogolan, characterized by indigo knotted dye techniques.
