World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

Former WFP Executive Director Catherine Bertini recently visited Senegal, where she saw a range of ongoing WFP activities. In this photo Bertini arrives at a salt production site in Fayil, where WFP supports salt iodization by providing potassium iodates to iodize the salt.  

Accompanied by women from the village, former WFP Executive Director Bertini helps harvest salt. 

Following Senegalese tradition, guests are welcomed by music from the region. Here women from Fayil play songs of the Serer tradition. 

After her visit to Fayil, Bertini saw multipurpose gardens in action in Baboulaye, a village in the region of Fatick. Women from the village manage the gardens, which change in use depending on the season. 

The well shown provides water for people living in the village Baboulaye. 

Women from the village join Bertini and Pasqualina Disirio, Head of Programmes at the West Africa Regional Bureau.
